question including crossover trials in meta-analysis
Dear Vera In addition to what you already have you might like to know about the mailing list specifically dedicated to meta-analysis in R. https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-meta-analysis// You might like to search the archives first as this sort of issue does come up there. You are also likely to get more immediate help if you frame your question in terms of either meta or metafor the two packages which dmetar uses. The authors of meta and metafor all frequent the list Michael

Hi, Bert has pointed you to some R specific packages for meta-analyses via the Task View. It sounds like you may need to first address some underlying conceptual issues, which strictly speaking, is off-topic for this list. That being said, a quick Google search came up with some possible resources, beyond the Cochrane reference: https://academic.oup.com/ije/article/31/1/140/655940 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/jrsm.1236 https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0133023 Perhaps with additional conceptual background, that might assist in enabling you to make use of the R packages that provide relevant functionality. Another option, if you want to stay with the dmetar package, would be to contact the package maintainer for some guidance relative to how to use the functionality in the package given your specific use case.

Dear sir/madam, Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my question. I am currently trying to conduct a meta-analysis combining parallel and crossover trials. According to the Cochrane Handbook, I can include crossover trials by using t-paired statistics. So far, I have managed to conduct a meta-analysis and forest plot of the parallel trials using the dmetar package, but I did not succeed in including the crossover trials. I do have the raw data of most of these crossover trials. Does anybody know how to add crossover trials to the meta-analysis? With kind regards, Vera Belgers
