title: 'litReview: Summarizing Graphs for Literature Reviews'
version: 1.0.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.litReview
abstract: Summarizes and visualizes categorical data extracted during literature reviews
  and evidence syntheses, starting from a data frame with one row per study. Generates
  publication-ready bar, stacked bar, histogram, waffle, donut, treemap, alluvial,
  trend, co-occurrence, 'UpSet', tree, and study-by-criteria matrix figures, together
  with world maps and formatted summary tables. Plot functions return standard 'ggplot2'
  objects that can be further customized, and an interactive 'Shiny' application is
  included for building figures without writing code. Aims to help researchers report
  study characteristics consistently across many publications.
