METAL_forestplot: forest plot as R/meta's forest for METAL outputs

Description

This functions takes a meta-data from METAL (tbl) and data from contributing studies (all) for forest plot. It also takes a SNPID-rsid mapping (rsid) as contributing studies often involve discrepancies in rsid so it is appropriate to use SNPID, i.e., chr:pos_A1_A2 (A1<=A2).

Usage

METAL_forestplot(tbl, all, rsid, package = "meta", split = FALSE, ...)

Value

It will generate a forest plot specified by pdf for direction-adjusted effect sizes.

Arguments

tbl

Meta-anslysis summary statistics.

all

statistics from all contributing studies.

rsid

SNPID-rsid mapping file.

package

style of plot as in meta, rmeta or forestplot.

split

when TRUE, individual prot-MarkerName.pdf will be generated.

...

Additional arguments to meta::forest.

Details

The study-specific and total sample sizes (N) can be customised from METAL commands. By default, the input triplets each contain a `MarkerName` variable which is the unique SNP identifier (e.g., chr:pos:a1:a2) and the `tbl` argument has variables `A1` and `A2` as produced by METAL while the `all` argument has `EFFECT_ALLELE` and `REFERENCE_ALLELE` as with a `study` variable indicating study name. Another variable common the `tbl` and `all` is `prot` variable as the function was developed in a protein based meta-analysis. From these all information is in place for generation of a list of Forest plots through a batch run.
