This function is now deprecated. You should use the improved version MetaUtility::scrape_meta instead.

scrape_meta(type = "RR", est, hi, sqrt = FALSE)

Arguments

type

RR if point estimates are RRs or ORs (to be handled on log scale); raw if point estimates are raw differences, standardized mean differences, etc. (such that they can be handled with no transformations)

est

Vector of study point estimates on RR or OR scale

hi

Vector of upper bounds of 95% CIs on RRs

sqrt

Vector of booleans (TRUE/FALSE) for whether each study measured an odds ratio of a common outcome that should be approximated as a risk ratio via the square-root transformation
