title: 'respondeR: Imputing Responder Proportions from Continuous Outcomes'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: Express meta-analyses of continuous trial outcomes in terms of responder
  risks, following the interpretability tutorial of Thorlund, Walter, Johnston, Furukawa
  and Guyatt (2011) <https://doi.org/10.1002/jrsm.46>. Given the mean change, standard
  deviation and sample size per arm across studies, respondeR estimates the proportion
  of patients who cross a minimal important difference (MID) threshold under a parametric
  model for the change scores, and contrasts the arms as a risk difference, risk ratio,
  odds ratio or number needed to treat. It provides median, unweighted-mean, weighted-mean
  and per-study (fixed- or random-effects) pooling, the standardized-mean-difference
  to odds-ratio bridge of Anzures-Cabrera, Sarpatwari and Higgins (2011) <https://doi.org/10.1002/sim.4298>,
  a threshold-free common-language effect size, and a point-and-click 'Shiny' application.
  The estimation methods were evaluated in a simulation study by Sofi-Mahmudi (2024)
