Description: 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 per-study (fixed- or random-effects)
    pooling with exact tail probabilities, a pooled-summary method anchored on
    the within-study mean difference, median and unweighted-mean summaries, 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, results across a range of thresholds, GRADE
    summary-of-findings rows, change-score standard deviation imputation,
    shared-control handling for multi-arm trials, and a point-and-click 'Shiny'
    application. It can also read a continuous meta-analysis already fitted with
    'meta' or 'metafor' and convert it to responder risks. The framework follows
    the simulation study of Sofi-Mahmudi (2024)
