print.summary.limitmeta

Print method for summary of limit meta-analysis


Description

Print method for objects of class summary.limitmeta.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'summary.limitmeta'
print(
  x,
  backtransf = x$backtransf,
  digits = gs("digits"),
  header = TRUE,
  pscale = x$x$pscale,
  irscale = x$x$irscale,
  irunit = x$x$irunit,
  digits.stat = gs("digits.stat"),
  digits.pval = gs("digits.pval"),
  digits.Q = gs("digits.Q"),
  digits.tau2 = gs("digits.tau2"),
  digits.I2 = gs("digits.I2"),
  scientific.pval = gs("scientific.pval"),
  big.mark = gs("big.mark"),
  print.Rb = gs("print.Rb"),
  warn.backtransf = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

x

An object of class summary.limitmeta.

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.

header

A logical indicating whether information on title of meta-analysis, comparison and outcome should be printed at the beginning of the printout.

pscale

A numeric giving scaling factor for printing of single event probabilities, i.e. if argument sm is equal to "PLOGIT", "PLN", "PRAW", "PAS", or "PFT".

irscale

A numeric defining a scaling factor for printing of rates, i.e. if argument sm is equal to "IR", "IRLN", "IRS", or "IRFT".

irunit

A character specifying the time unit used to calculate rates, e.g. person-years.

digits.stat

Minimal number of significant digits for z- or t-value, see print.default.

digits.pval

Minimal number of significant digits for p-value of overall treatment effect, see print.default.

digits.Q

Minimal number of significant digits for heterogeneity statistic Q, see print.default.

digits.tau2

Minimal number of significant digits for between-study variance, see print.default.

digits.I2

Minimal number of significant digits for I-squared and Rb statistic, see print.default.

scientific.pval

A logical specifying whether p-values should be printed in scientific notation, e.g., 1.2345e-01 instead of 0.12345.

big.mark

A character used as thousands separator.

print.Rb

A logical specifying whether heterogeneity statistic Rb should be printed.

warn.backtransf

A logical indicating whether a warning should be printed if backtransformed proportions and rates are below 0 and backtransformed proportions are above 1.

...

Additional arguments (ignored).

Details

This function prints summary information for a limit meta-analysis (Rücker et al., 2011); unadjusted as well as adjusted effect estimates in a random effects model are printed.
