figure_detectAllPoints

A binary figure image (an EBImage object).
See: <code>figure_transformToBinary</code>

aBinaryPlot

A value designating the sensitivity of identifying unique
points that overlap.  A smaller number results in a higher sensitivity to
split overlapping points; a larger number will extract only a single point
from a cluster of overlapping points.

sensitivity

The shape of points on figure: can be <code>"circle"</code>,
<code>"square"</code>, or <code>"diamond"</code>.  If these options do not fit the
shape found in a figure, use the option that best approximates that
shape.

point_shape

An integer used to designate the size of the points on
   the figure.  Close alignment to the size of the points on a figure will
   improve point detection.  See <code>EBImage</code> to help determine which
   size to use.

point_size

Attempts to detect all points of a certain shape and size from a scatter-plot
figure image (even those lying outside of the axis range).

Functionalities for facilitating systematic reviews, data extractions, and meta-analyses.  It includes a GUI (graphical user interface) to help screen the abstracts and titles of bibliographic data; tools to assign screening effort across multiple collaborators/reviewers and to assess inter-reviewer reliability; tools to help automate the download and retrieval of journal PDF articles from online databases; automated data extractions from scatter-plots; PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) flow diagrams; simple imputation tools to fill gaps in incomplete or missing study parameters; generation of random effects sizes for Hedges' d, log response ratio, odds ratio, and correlation coefficients for Monte Carlo experiments; covariance equations for modelling dependencies among multiple effect sizes (e.g., effect sizes with a common control); and finally summaries that replicate analyses and outputs from widely used but no longer updated meta-analysis software.  Funding for this package was supported by National Science Foundation (NSF) grants DBI-1262545 and DEB-1451031.
