orchaRd: Visualizing Meta-Analyses with Orchard Plots and Prediction Intervals

Generates prediction intervals and orchard plots for meta-analytic and meta-regression models fitted with the 'metafor' package. Orchard plots augment classic forest plots by displaying individual effect sizes together with group means and their confidence and prediction intervals, providing an enhanced visualization of meta-analytic data for ecology, evolution, and beyond. Methods are described in Nakagawa et al. (2023) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.14152>.
