Create a plot to display risk difference for each item.

Usage

plot_errorbar(
  tbl,
  y_var,
  errbar_width = 0.4,
  color = NULL,
  shape = NULL,
  label,
  x_breaks = NULL,
  grp_abbrev = "paired",
  favor_direction = "negative",
  vline = NULL,
  line_type = 1,
  title = "Risk Diff. + 95% CI \n (Percentage Points)",
  background_color = c("#69B8F7", "#FFFFFF"),
  background_alpha = 0.3,
  theme = theme_panel(show_text = TRUE, show_ticks = TRUE),
  legend_nrow = 1
)

Arguments

tbl

A data frame selected from input data set to display on this plot. y and x variables are required.

y_var

A character string that specifies a variable to be displayed on the y-axis.

errbar_width

A numeric value to define the error bar width. Default is 0.4. Value of this argument will be a half length of the error bar, for example, errorbar_width = 0.2 means half of the error bar width is 0.2 unit length. If y = 4, the error bar will range from y = 3.8 to y = 4.2.

color

Color for each treatment group.

shape

Shape for each treatment group. Default is circle and square. Input values could be either a character or numeric value, For details, see https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/articles/ggplot2-specs.html.

label

A character vector of labels for each treatment group. The control group label should be specified as the last element of the vector.

x_breaks

A numeric vector for x-axis breaks. Default is NULL, which uses a default ggplot2 x-axis breaks presentation.

grp_abbrev

A character vector for displaying the treatment groups on a favor bar. If grp_abbrev = "paired", treatment label on the error bar will be the same as in the label argument. If grp_abbrev = "none", the error bar will not be shown. Also, for customized terms, users can provide an alternative vector of treatment labels. Default is "paired".

favor_direction

The position of a favor label under the condition "comparison is treatment – control". For AEs, favor_direction should be "negative"; for efficacy, favor_direction should be "positive".

vline

Vertical reference line position. Default is NULL. Users can define one or multiple numeric values in a vector as a reference line position.

line_type

Reference line type. Default is solid line. Users can define one or multiple line types in a vector (can be numeric such as 1, 2, 3 or character such as "solid", "dashed"). The values will be recycled and the order will be consistent with the argument vline.

title

Plot title. Default is "Risk Diff. + 95% CI \\n (Percentage Points)".

background_color

Plot background color. Default is c("#69B8F7", "#FFFFFF"), which are pastel blue and white. The value of this argument is used as input for the background_color argument in background_panel().

background_alpha

Opacity of the background. Default is 0.3. The value of this argument is the input for background_alpha argument in background_panel().

theme

Panel theme, including the y-axis text, ticks, and plot margin. Default is theme_panel(show_text = TRUE, show_ticks = TRUE). For more details, refer to theme_panel.

legend_nrow

Integer, the number of rows for a legend display. Must be smaller than or equal to the number of the treatment groups. To omit the legend, set this to NULL. Default is 1.

Value

A risk difference plot for each item.

  forestly_adsl$TRT01A,
  levels = c("Xanomeline Low Dose", "Placebo"),
  labels = c("Low Dose", "Placebo")
)
forestly_adae$TRTA <- factor(
  forestly_adae$TRTA,
  levels = c("Xanomeline Low Dose", "Placebo"),
  labels = c("Low Dose", "Placebo")
)

  dataset_adsl = forestly_adsl,

    y_var = "name",
