print.summary.limitmeta: Print detailed results for limit meta-analysis

Description

Print method for objects of class summary.limitmeta.

This function prints the main results of a limit meta-analysis (Rücker et al., 2011) as well as the following study information:

• Effect estimate with confidence interval

• Shrunken effect estimates with confidence interval

Usage

# S3 method for summary.limitmeta
print(
  x,
  sortvar,
  backtransf = x$backtransf,
  digits = gs("digits"),
  big.mark = gs("big.mark"),
  truncate,
  text.truncate = "*** Output truncated ***",
  ...
)

Arguments

x

An object of class summary.limitmeta

sortvar

An optional vector used to sort the individual studies (must be of same length as x$TE).

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.

big.mark

A character used as thousands separator.

truncate

An optional vector used to truncate the printout of results for individual studies (must be a logical vector of same length as x$TE or contain numerical values).

text.truncate

A character string printed if study results were truncated from the printout.

...

Additional arguments which are passed on to print.limitmeta called internally.
