obj.forest: Numerical objects of ranked forest plot for the synthesis results of network meta-analysis

Description

Numerical objects of ranked forest plot for the synthesis results of network meta-analysis are generated. These objects may be used to make a customized forest plot using forestplot function of forestplot package.

Usage

obj.forest(x,method="NH",digits=3,ascending=TRUE)

Value

Numerical objects of ranked forest plot is produced. They may be used for forestplot function of forestplot package to make a customized ranked forest plot.

• labeltext: A matrix that presents the label text table of the forestplot.

• coef: A matrix that presents the point estimates and confidence limits.

• boxsize: A vector that indicates the boxsizes.

Arguments

x

Output object of setup

method

Estimation and prediction method. NH: Noma-Hamura's improved REML-based methods (default). REML: The ordinary REML method. fixed: Fixed-effect model.

digits

Number of decimal places

ascending

Type of order. Default is ascending order, but it can be changed to descending order changing to FALSE.

Examples

data(heartfailure)

hf2 <- setup(study=study,trt=trt,d=d,n=n,measure="OR",ref="Placebo",data=heartfailure)

obj.forest(hf2)
