Arguments

journal

String indicating the journal theme to follow. One of c("jama", "lancet", "nejm", "qjecon"). Details below.

set_theme

Logical indicating whether to set the theme. Default is TRUE. When FALSE the named list of theme elements is returned invisibly

font_size

(scalar numeric)
Numeric font size for compact theme. Default is 13 for gt tables, and 8 for all other output types

print_engine

String indicating the print method. Must be one of "gt", "kable", "kable_extra", "flextable", "tibble"

language

(string)
String indicating language. Must be one of "de" (German), "en" (English), "es" (Spanish), "fr" (French), "gu" (Gujarati), "hi" (Hindi), "is" (Icelandic),"ja" (Japanese), "kr" (Korean), "nl" (Dutch), "mr" (Marathi), "no" (Norwegian), "pt" (Portuguese), "se" (Swedish), "zh-cn" (Chinese Simplified), "zh-tw" (Chinese Traditional)

statistic

Default statistic continuous variables

- "jama" The Journal of the American Medical Association
  - Round large p-values to 2 decimal places; separate confidence intervals with "ll to ul".
  - tbl_summary() Doesn't show percent symbol; use em-dash to separate IQR; run add_stat_label()
  - tbl_regression()/tbl_uvregression() show coefficient and CI in same column
- "lancet" The Lancet
  - Use mid-point as decimal separator; round large p-values to 2 decimal places; separate confidence intervals with "ll to ul".
  - tbl_summary() Doesn't show percent symbol; use em-dash to separate IQR

  - tbl_regression(),tbl_uvregression() add significance stars with add_significance_stars(); hides CI and p-value from output
    - For flextable and huxtable output, the coefficients' standard error is placed below. For gt, it is placed to the right.
theme_gtsummary_compact()
- tables printed with gt, flextable, kableExtra, or huxtable will be compact with smaller font size and reduced cell padding
theme_gtsummary_printer(print_engine)
- Use this theme to permanently change the default printer.
theme_gtsummary_continuous2()
- Set all continuous variables to summary type "continuous2" by default
theme_gtsummary_mean_sd()
- Set default summary statistics to mean and standard deviation in tbl_summary()
- Set default continuous tests in add_p() to t-test and ANOVA
theme_gtsummary_eda()
- Set all continuous variables to summary type "continuous2" by default
- In tbl_summary() show the median, mean, IQR, SD, and Range by default

Use reset_gtsummary_theme() to restore the default settings
