• args per dec wth
• #del ;
• if "`per'"=="" {; local per=100; }; 
• if "`dec'"=="" {; local dec=2; }; 
• if "`wth'"=="" {; local wth=4; }; 
• #del cr 
• mat R=r(table)' 
• mat rtable=R[1...,"b"]
• local rows=rowsof(rtable) 
• local names: rownames rtable 
• disp _skip(24) "estimate (LL, UL) estimate (SE) p-value" 
• forvalues i=1/`rows' {
•   disp "`:word `i' of `names''" _column(25) ///
•   %`wth'.`dec'f rtable[`i',1] ///
•   " (" %`wth'.`dec'f rtable[`i',2] ///
•   ", " %`wth'.`dec'f rtable[`i',3] ")" ///
•   _skip(10) %`wth'.`dec'f rtable[`i',1] ///
•   " (" %`wth'.`dec'f rtable[`i',4] /// 
•   ")" _skip(10) %5.3f rtable[`i',5] 
•   }
• end
