Dear Allan, try this one. Quite some macros for automated graph production!
TITEL
Integrating Results through Meta-Analytic Review Using SAS(R) Software
by Morgan C. Wang and Brad J. Bushman
Finally... a book addressing the various needs, concepts, and approaches for
SAS users who work with meta-analytic procedures! Wang and Bushman introduce
the reader to the important concepts in meta-analysis
and how to use SAS software for this specific type of analysis.
The authors thoroughly describe how meta-analysis can be used in
"data-mining" projects to discover meaningful relations among variables in a
collection of studies. In addition, the following concepts are covered in
detail: how to present your results in graphical format, how to combine
effect-size estimates based on categorical and continuous data,
vote-counting procedures to show the statistical significance of results,
how to combine effect-size estimates and vote-counts, how to deal with fixed-
and random-effects models, how to combine dependent or
correlated effect-size estimates using multivariate procedures, and how to
report the results and conduct the data analysis portion of a meta-analysis.
