This function sorts user-supplied results for the forest_plot_1_to_many() function. The user supplies their results in the form of a data frame.

Usage

sort_1_to_many(
  mr_res,
  b = "b",
  trait_m = "outcome",
  sort_action = 4,
  group = NULL,
  priority = NULL
)

Arguments

mr_res

Data frame of results supplied by the user.

b

Name of the column specifying the effect of the exposure on the outcome. The default is "b".

trait_m

The column specifying the names of the traits. Corresponds to 'many' in the 1-to-many forest plot. The default is "outcome".

sort_action

Choose how to sort results.

  • sort_action = 1: sort results by effect size within groups. Use the group order supplied by the user.

  • sort_action = 2: sort results by effect size and group. Overides the group ordering supplied by the user.

  • sort_action = 3: group results for the same trait together (e.g. multiple results for the same trait from different MR methods).

  • sort_action = 4: sort by decreasing effect size (largest effect size at top and smallest at bottom).

  • sort_action = 5: sort by increasing effect size (smallest effect size at top and largest at bottom).

group

Name of grouping variable in mr_res.

priority

If sort_action = 3, choose which value of the trait_m variable should be given priority and go above the other trait_m values. The trait with the largest effect size for the prioritised group will go to the top of the plot.

Value

data frame.
