Tplyr — R package from the atorus-research project

github.com/atorus-research/Tplyr ↗

Tplyr made clinical summary tables explain where every number came from.

clinical-trialstablestraceabilityr-packagepharmaverse
◆Current state
Tplyr builds clinical summary tables through a layered grammar — count, descriptive statistics, and shift layers assembled onto a table object. The 1.0.0 release added a traceability metadata framework that lets a user ask which source rows produced any given cell, and later releases extended it to cases the first pass missed. The package is maintained by Atorus within the pharmaverse ecosystem.
◆Where it's heading
Post-1.0 work has been about completing the metadata story and filling gaps in layer composition rather than adding table types — metadata for missing subjects, add_anti_join(), missing-subject rows, data limiting, and fixes to nested count layers where an inner value appears under several outer groups. Releases cluster tightly after a major version, then go quiet, and the window ends with a patch issued days after the release it corrects.
◆Prediction
Further releases will most likely continue closing traceability and nested-layer edge cases rather than introducing new layer types, following the pattern of both post-1.0 feature releases.

◆Recent moves

    Missing-subject metadata, add_anti_join(), and nested-layer fixes

    A patch release that carries 1.2.0's notes with it, and the substance is traceability reaching the cases it did not cover — missing subjects now have metadata, and add_anti_join() exposes the complement. The nested count layer fix addresses a real correctness bug where an inner value spanning multiple outer groups was mishandled.

    Metadata vignette fix and parenthesis hugging

    Documentation repair plus a small formatting option. The release notes are a merge list with no substantive feature behind them.

    Denominator logic fix ahead of CRAN release

    A bug fix to how denom_where is determined, bundled with typo and workflow changes. Narrow correctness work on the counting path.

    1.0.0 introduces the traceability metadata framework

    ⚡ SPARK

    The release that defines what Tplyr is for beyond table construction, and the one every later entry in this window extends or patches.
