Plot a heatmap or traffic light plot of metaconfoundr() summaries

Source: R/plots.R

mc_heatmap() and mc_trafficlight() visualize the results of metaconfoundr(), summarizing the quality of confounder control in each study.

mc_heatmap(
  .df,
  legend_title = "control quality",
  sort = FALSE,
  by_group = FALSE,
  score = c("adequate", "sum", "controlled"),
  non_confounders = FALSE
)

mc_trafficlight(
  .df,
  size = 8,
  legend_title = "control quality",
  sort = FALSE,
  by_group = FALSE,
  score = c("adequate", "sum", "controlled"),
  non_confounders = FALSE
)

Arguments

.df

A data frame, usually the result of metaconfoundr()

legend_title

The legend title

sort

Logical. Sort by confounder score? Calculated by score_control()

by_group

Logical. If sorted, sort within domain?

score

The approach used to calculate the score. adequate tests if the study controlled at a strictly adequate level. sum treats control_quality as an ordinal integer, summing it's values such that a higher score has better control overall. controlled tests if any control, including some concerns control, is present.

non_confounders

Logical. Include non-confounders? Default is FALSE.

size

The size of the points in the traffic light plot

Value

a ggplot
