report_render: Render an HTML report of a run's results

In artma: Automatic Replication Tools for Meta-Analysis

Render an HTML report of a run's results

Description

Turn the results of an artma() run into a single self-contained HTML file: a metadata header, a table of contents, and one section per method with its tables and plots. The file has no external dependencies (all styling is inline and every plot is embedded as a base64 PNG), so it can be shared on its own.

The report can also be produced automatically at the end of every run by setting the output.report option to TRUE.

Usage

report_render(results, output_file = NULL, open = interactive())

Arguments

results	[list] The named list returned by artma(), one new_method_result per method.
output_file	[character, optional] Absolute path of the HTML file to write. When NULL (default), the report is written as report.html inside the most recent run's resolved output directory.
open	[logical, optional] Whether to open the report in a browser after writing it. Only ever honoured in an interactive session. Defaults to interactive().

Details

Plots come from the run.json manifest a run leaves in its output directory: it records which files each method wrote, so the report embeds exactly those. A results directory without a manifest (written before manifests existed, or by a run with output.save_results off) yields a report with tables only.

Value

[character] The path of the written report file (invisibly).

Examples

## Not run: 
res <- artma(methods = c("funnel_plot", "effect_summary_stats"), options = "my.yaml")
report_render(res)

# Write to a specific location and open it
report_render(res, output_file = "~/analysis/report.html", open = TRUE)

## End(Not run)
