How do I get a forestplot function to work in r?


I am using the foresplot package. I want to create a forest plot with two groups (aeroplanes, cars) and three variables for each. I have tried to create a function for the box plots and lines. However, the forest plot table text works but the function does not.

example data

structure(list(X = c("Aeroplanes", "Sex (F)", "1", "2", "Cars", 
"Sex (F)", "1", "2"), OR = c(NA, 1.35, 7.81, 6.14, NA, 1.17, 
0.15, 0.4), Cl.low = c(NA, 1.13, 5.69, 4.36, NA, 0.74, 0.05, 
0.16), CI.high = c(NA, 1.61, 11.01, 8.83, NA, 1.88, 0.35, 0.89
), p.value = c("", "< 0.001", "< 0.001", "< 0.001", "", "0.509", 
"< 0.001", "0.034")), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, 
-8L))



CI <- table2OR_ed
CI <- within (CI, rm(X,OR, p.value))
CI$CI <-apply(CI,1,function(x){
  paste0("(",paste(x, collapse=", "),")")
})  
CI$CI[which(CI$CI=="(NA, NA)")] <- NA


tabletext <- cbind(c("Transport","\n",table2OR_ex$X), 
                   c("Odds ratio","\n",table2OR_ex$OR),
                   c("Confidence Interval","\n",CI$CI))

fn <- local({
  i = 0
  no_lines <- sum(!is.na(table2OR_ex$OR)) 
  b_clrs = colorRampPalette(colors=c("pink", "blue"))(no_lines)
  l_clrs = colorRampPalette(colors=c("blue", "pink"))(no_lines) 
  function(..., clr.line, clr.marker){
    i <<- i + 1
    fpDrawDiamondCI(..., clr.line = l_clrs[i], clr.marker = b_clrs[i])
  }
})

forestplot(labeltext=tabletext, graphwidth=unit (70, "mm"), graph.pos=3, 
           mean=c(NA,NA,table2OR_ex$OR), 
           lower=c(NA,NA,table2OR_ex$CI.low), upper=c(NA,NA,table2OR_ex$CI.high),
           fn.ci_norm = fn, #use function
           txt_gp=fpTxtGp(label=gpar(fontsize=12, cex=1), 
                          ticks=gpar(fontsize=12, cex=1.4),
                          xlab=gpar(fontsize=12,cex = 1),
                          title=gpar(fontsize=12,cex = 1.2)),

           zero=1,boxsize=0.4)

I get this error

Warning message: In min(lower, na.rm = TRUE) : no non-missing arguments to min; returning Inf

I checked the class and the CI.low is null, even though it is numeric when I import the csv. So perhaps this is a source of the error?


Solution

  • Try this:

    library(forestplot)
    #> Loading required package: grid
    #> Loading required package: magrittr
    #> Loading required package: checkmate
    library(grDevices)
    table2OR_ex <- structure(list(X = c("Aeroplanes", "Sex (F)", "1", "2", "Cars", "Sex (F)", "1", "2"), 
                         mean = c(NA, 1.35, 7.81, 6.14, NA, 1.17, 0.15, 0.4), 
                         lower = c(NA, 1.13, 5.69, 4.36, NA, 0.74, 0.05, 0.16), 
                         upper = c(NA, 1.61, 11.01, 8.83, NA, 1.88, 0.35, 0.89),
                         p.value = c("", "< 0.001", "< 0.001", "< 0.001", "", "0.509", "< 0.001", "0.034")), 
    
                         .Names = c("Transport", "mean", "lower", "upper", "p value"), 
                         class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -8L))
    
    tabletext <- cbind(c("Transport","\n",table2OR_ex$Transport), 
                       c("Odds ratio","\n",table2OR_ex$mean),
                       c("Confidence Interval","\n", 
                         ifelse(is.na(table2OR_ex$lower), "", paste(table2OR_ex$lower, table2OR_ex$upper, sep= " - "))))
    mat <- rbind(rbind(rep(NA, 3), rbind(rep(NA, 3), as.matrix(table2OR_ex[, 2:4]))))
    
    
    fn <- local({
        i = 0
        no_lines <- sum(!is.na(mat[,"mean"])) 
        b_clrs = colorRampPalette(colors=c("pink", "blue"))(no_lines)
        l_clrs = colorRampPalette(colors=c("blue", "pink"))(no_lines) 
        function(..., clr.line, clr.marker){
            i <<- i + 1
            fpDrawDiamondCI(..., clr.line = l_clrs[i], clr.marker = b_clrs[i])
        }
    })
    
    forestplot(labeltext=tabletext, 
               mat,
               graphwidth=unit (70, "mm"), 
               graph.pos=3, 
               fn.ci_norm = fn,
               clip =c(-.125, max(table2OR_ex$upper, na.rm = TRUE)),
               is.summary=c(TRUE, TRUE, rep(FALSE, 8)),
               txt_gp=fpTxtGp(label=gpar(fontsize=12, cex=1), 
                              ticks=gpar(fontsize=12, cex=1.4),
                              xlab=gpar(fontsize=12,cex = 1),
                              title=gpar(fontsize=12,cex = 1.2)),
    
               zero=1,
               boxsize=0.4)
