Stata implementation of contour enhanced funnel plots

confunnel is a Stata command implementing contour enhanced funnel plots for meta-analysis (Peters et al., 2008). It was distributed in the Stata Journal (Palmer et al., 2008).

Installation

To install, issue in Stata (in versions 13 and above):

stata net install confunnel, from("https://raw.github.com/remlapmot/confunnel-stata/master/")

Implementation in official Stata

An official Stata contour enhanced funnel plot command, based on confunnel is available, since I think Stata version 16, through the meta funnelplot command as follows

stata meta funnelplot [if] [in], contours(contourspec) [options]

Here is a comparison of the plots that they produce (plots generated under StataNow 18.5)

stata webuse nsaidsset, clear ssc install mylabels mylabels 0.02 0.2 1 5 50, myscale(log(@)) local(mylab) confunnel _meta_es _meta_se, twowayopts(xtitle("Odds ratios (log scale)") `"xlabel(`mylab')"' title("Contour-enhanced funnel plot"))

Contour enhanced funnel plot generated using confunnel

stata meta funnelplot, contours(1 5 10) xtitle("Odds ratios (log scale)") xlabel(`mylab') legend(pos(2) ring(0))
