		Imputing Responder Proportions from Continuous Outcomes //
		Express meta-analyses of continuous trial outcomes in terms of
		responder risks, following the interpretability tutorial of
		Thorlund, Walter, Johnston, Furukawa and Guyatt (2011)
		doi:10.1002/jrsm.46. Given the mean change, standard deviation
		and sample size per arm across studies, respondeR estimates the
		proportion of patients who cross a minimal important difference
		(MID) threshold under a parametric model for the change scores,
		and contrasts the arms as a risk difference, risk ratio, odds
		ratio or number needed to treat. It provides median,
		unweighted-mean, weighted-mean and per-study (fixed- or random-
		effects) pooling, the standardized-mean-difference to odds-
		ratio bridge of Anzures-Cabrera, Sarpatwari and Higgins (2011)
		doi:10.1002/sim.4298, a threshold-free common-language effect
		size, and a point-and-click 'Shiny' application. The estimation
		methods were evaluated in a simulation study by Sofi-Mahmudi
