  <dc:title>Trial Sequential Analysis for Meta-Analyses of Hazard Ratios</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package tsahr version 0.2.8.17</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Performs Trial Sequential Analysis (TSA) for meta-analyses of
    time-to-event outcomes reported as hazard ratios. Implements the
    Schoenfeld required-events sample-size formula generalised for unequal
    allocation, the Diversity (D-squared) heterogeneity adjustment of
    Wetterslev et al. (2009), and O'Brien-Fleming-type alpha- and
    beta-spending trial sequential monitoring boundaries computed at the
    inverse-variance information based on observed study-level log-HR
    standard errors (not merely event counts), via
    a compiled (C++) recursive numerical integration engine ported from
    the R package 'RTSA' (Soerensen, Olsen, Lange and Gluud; an R
    implementation of the Trial Sequential Analysis software of the Copenhagen
    Trial Unit, &lt;https://ctu.dk/tools&gt;), with no fixed software-imposed limit
    on the number of looks (subject to available computational resources). Produces a cumulative
    Z-curve plot with efficacy, futility, and conventional significance
    boundaries. Methodology follows Miladinovic et al. (2013)
    &lt;doi:10.1016/j.jclinepi.2012.11.007&gt; and Wetterslev et al. (2009)
