The umeta command performs u-statistics-based random-effects meta-analysis on a dataset of univariate, bivariate or trivariate point estimates, sampling variances, and for bivariate or trivariate data, within-study correlations or covariances. The methodology is described in Ma and Mazumdar, Statistics in Medicine (2011).u-statistic, meta-analysis, random effects
