Read and use a tidystats file

An additional usage of the tidystats-produced file is that it can be read back into R and converted into a data frame. This enables researchers to then extract specific statistics to perform additional analyses with (e.g., meta-analyses). Below is an example.

# Load packages
library(tidystats)
library(dplyr)

# Read in a tidystats-produced .json file
results <- read_stats("results.json")

# Convert the list to a data frame
results_df <- tidy_stats_to_data_frame(results)

# Select the p-values
p_values <- filter(results_df, statistic == "p")

With the current example, this results in the following data frame:
