The SAS is considered as internationally-known standard software in the field of data processing and statistics, which is also excellent in conducting meta-analysis; however, it require users to have higher technical expertise due to its complex and difficult program coding. Assessing statistical power calculation of significance tests is one of important steps in meta-analysis. Guy Cafri et al., developed a macro (%metapower) for well implement this calculation in SAS. This macro is specifically designed to implement the statistical power calculation of overall results of meta-analysis, heterogenity, and subgroup analysis, which is easy to operate. This article introduces%metapower based on examples.
