This function can be used to redo all or selected meta-analyses of a Cochrane Review of interventions (Higgins et al., 2023).

Review Manager 5 (RevMan 5) was the software used for preparing and maintaining Cochrane Reviews. In RevMan 5, subgroup analyses can be defined and data from a Cochrane review can be imported to R using the function read.rm5.

The R function metacr is called internally.
