This article introduces two methods used to calculate effect indicators and their standard errors with non-comparative binary data. Then we give an example, the effect indicators and standard errors are calculated using both methods, and meta-analysis with the outcomes is conducted using RevMan software. At last the calculated results are compared with the results of meta-analysis conducted using Stata software with original data based on cases. The results of meta-analysis performed in RevMan software and Stata software are consistent in calculating non-comparative binary data.
