Meta-analysis with medians and interquartile ranges (IQR). #34

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Thanks for the module. Sometimes, we do not have data with a parametric distribution, so the authors of the studies provide a central measure (the median) and two measures of dispersion (interquartile ranges).

Describe the solution you'd like
An option may be available that allows meta-analysis with medians and IQR.

Describe alternatives you've considered
You could ask to generate the forestplot:

  • The median
    -the upper RIC
    -the lower RIC
  • ID (study label)
  • no total study
  • n GI /n GC
