ggmeta: Publication-Quality Forest and Funnel Plots with 'ggplot2'

A 'ggplot2' extension that creates publication-quality forest and funnel plots from 'meta' package objects or tidy data frames. Provides custom 'ggproto' geometries for study-level confidence intervals with weight-proportional squares, summary effect diamonds, prediction intervals, null-effect reference lines, and funnel-plot contours. Supports subgroup analysis, back-transformation of summary measures, on-the-fly effect pooling, effect and weight table columns, and journal-specific layout presets (JAMA, BMJ, RevMan5).
