print.summary.limitmeta {metasens}

R Documentation

Print detailed results for limit meta-analysis

Description

Print method for objects of class summary.limitmeta.

This function prints the main results of a limit meta-analysis (Rücker et al., 2011) as well as the following study information:

Effect estimate with confidence interval
Shrunken effect estimates with confidence interval

Usage

## S3 method for class 'summary.limitmeta'
print(
  x,
  sortvar,
  backtransf = x$backtransf,
  digits = gs("digits"),
  big.mark = gs("big.mark"),
  truncate,
  text.truncate = "*** Output truncated ***",
  ...
)

Arguments

`x`	An object of class `summary.limitmeta`
`sortvar`	An optional vector used to sort the individual studies (must be of same length as `x$TE`).
`backtransf`	A logical indicating whether results should be back transformed in printouts and plots. If `backtransf=TRUE` (default), results for `sm="OR"` are printed as odds ratios rather than log odds ratio, for example.
`digits`	Minimal number of significant digits, see `print.default`.
`big.mark`	A character used as thousands separator.
`truncate`	An optional vector used to truncate the printout of results for individual studies (must be a logical vector of same length as `x$TE` or contain numerical values).
`text.truncate`	A character string printed if study results were truncated from the printout.
`...`	Additional arguments which are passed on to `print.limitmeta` called internally.
