I’m trying to do a meta-analysis with R. After using the function metabin from the package meta, I obtain this
Here is a simplified version of my data :
data <- data.frame(matrix(rnorm(40,25), nrow=17, ncol=8))
centres<-c("LYON","SAINT ETIENNE","REIMS","TOULOUSE","SVP","NANTES","STRASBOURG","GRENOBLE","ANGERS","TOULON","MARSEILLE","COLMAR","BORDEAUX","RENNES","VALENCE","CAEN","NANCY")
rownames(data) = centres
colnames(data) = c("case_exposed","witness_exposed","case_nonexposed","witness_nonexposed","exposed","nonexposed","case","witness")
metabin( data$case_exposed, data$case, data$witness_exposed, data$witness, studlab=centres,
data=data, sm="OR")
I would like to only extract the values of OR and 95%-CI in the fixed effect model and the random effects model, so I could put them in another array. Is there anyway this is possible ?
I tried to use summary, but it doesn’t change anything. Thanks for your help.
Consider the following example:
library(meta)
data(Olkin95)
meta1 <- metabin(event.e, n.e, event.c, n.c,
data = Olkin95, subset = c(41, 47, 51, 59),
method = "Inverse")
summary(meta1)
The estimated RR (with 95% CI) from the fixed and random models are
Number of studies combined: k = 4
RR 95%-CI z p-value
Fixed effect model 0.4407 [0.2416; 0.8039] -2.67 0.0075
Random effects model 0.4434 [0.2038; 0.9648] -2.05 0.0403
You can extract these values using:
(est.fixed <- unlist(summary(meta1)$fixed))
TE seTE lower upper z p level
-0.819414226 0.306710201 -1.420555173 -0.218273278 -2.671623649 0.007548526 0.950000000
(RR.fixed <- exp(est.fixed[1]))
TE
0.4406897
(CI.fixed <- exp(c(est.fixed[1]-1.96*est.fixed[2],est.fixed[1]-1.96*est.fixed[2])))
TE TE
0.2415772 0.2415772
Similarly for the random effect model:
(est.random <- unlist(summary(meta1)$random))
TE seTE lower upper z p level df
-0.81325423 0.39665712 -1.59068790 -0.03582057 -2.05027011 0.04033808 0.95000000 NA
(RR.random <- exp(est.random[1]))
TE
0.4434127
(CI.random <- exp(c(est.random[1]-1.96*est.random[2],est.random[1]+1.96*est.random[2])))
TE TE
0.2037825 0.9648272
