?Dear All I have some data expressed in geometric means and 95% confidence intervals. Can I code them in metafor as: rma(m1i=geometric mean 1, m2i=geometric mean 2, sd1i=geometric mean 1 CI /3.92, sd2i=geometric mean 2 CI/3.92.......etc, measure="MD")
Would it not be better to work on the log scale?
All of the studies use geometric means. Thanks!
