Scatterplot of SUCRA values
Description
Creates a scatterplot of the SUCRA values from the network meta-analysis and the network meta-regression for a specified level or value of the investigated covariate.
Usage
scatterplot_sucra(full, reg, cov_value, drug_names)
Arguments
full |
|
reg |
An object of S3 class |
cov_value |
A list of two elements in the following order: 1) a number
for the covariate value of interest (see 'Arguments' in
|
drug_names |
A vector of labels with the name of the interventions in
the order they appear in the argument |
Details
The names of the interventions appear above each point in the plot. Three coloured rectangles are drawn in the scatterplot: a red rectangle for SUCRA values up to 50%, a yellow rectangular for SUCRA values between 50% and 80%, and a green rectangle for SUCRA values over 80%. Interventions falling at the green area are considered as the highest ranked interventions, whilst interventions falling at the red area are considered as the lowest ranked interventions.
When the covariate is binary, specify in the second element of
cov_value the name of the level for which the scatterplot will be
created.
scatterplot_sucra is integrated in metareg_plot.
scatterplot_sucra can be used only for a network of interventions.
Otherwise, the execution of the function will be stopped and an error
message will be printed on the R console.
Value
A scatterplot of the SUCRA values under the network meta-analysis (y-axis) against the SUCRA values under the network meta-regression (x-axis) for a specified level or value of the investigated covariate.
