It has been argued that odds ratios are mathematically superior for meta-analysis, but risk ratios and risk differences are shown to be easier to interpret. Therefore, the proposed method enables the calculation of meta-analytic results in (log) odds ratio and to transform them afterwards in risk ratio and risk difference. This transformation is based on the assumption of equal significance of the results. It is implemented Meta-Essentials: Workbooks for meta-analyses
