scatterplot_sucra: Scatterplot of SUCRA values

In rnmamod: Bayesian Network Meta-Analysis with Missing Participants

Scatterplot of SUCRA values

Description

Creates a scatterplot of the SUCRA values from the network meta-analysis and the network meta-regression for a specified level or value of the investigated covariate.

Usage

scatterplot_sucra(full, reg, cov_name = "covariate value", drug_names)

Arguments

full	An object of S3 class run_model. See 'Value' in run_model.
reg	An object of S3 class run_metareg. See 'Value' in run_metareg.
cov_name	A character or text to indicate the name of the covariate.
drug_names	A vector of labels with the name of the interventions in the order they appear in the argument data of run_model. If drug_names is not defined, the order of the interventions as they appear in data is used, instead.

Details

The names of the interventions appear above each point in the plot. Three coloured rectangles are drawn in the scatterplot: a red rectangle for SUCRA values up to 50%, a yellow rectangular for SUCRA values between 50% and 80%, and a green rectangle for SUCRA values over 80%. Interventions falling at the green area are considered as the highest ranked interventions, whilst interventions falling at the red area are considered as the lowest ranked interventions.

scatterplot_sucra is integrated in metareg_plot.

scatterplot_sucra can be used only for a network of interventions. Otherwise, the execution of the function will be stopped and an error message will be printed on the R console.

Value

A scatterplot of the SUCRA values under the network meta-analysis (y-axis) against the SUCRA values under the network meta-regression (x-axis) for a specified level or value of the investigated covariate.
