Description: Implements the methods of McGrath et al. (2020)
        <doi:10.1177/0962280219889080> and Cai et al. (2021)
        <doi:10.1177/09622802211047348> for estimating the sample mean
        and standard deviation from commonly reported quantiles in
        meta-analysis. These methods can be applied to studies that
        report the sample median, sample size, and one or both of (i)
        the sample minimum and maximum values and (ii) the first and
        third quartiles. The corresponding standard error estimators
        described by McGrath et al. (2023)
        <doi:10.1177/09622802221139233> are also included.
