catmap.cumulative: catmap: Cumulative Meta-Analysis

Description

The catmap.cumulative conducts cumulative meta-analyses and creates plots of Odds Ratios (OR) and Confidence Intervals (CI) using a fixed-effects or random-effects model. Note that studies should be listed in chronological order in the input file! This function does not re-order studies by publication year! Also note that random-effects estimates are not defined for a single (i.e., the first) study.

  printout = FALSE)
