OverlapES: An R Package, and Accompanying R Shiny Application for Identifying and Quantifying Sample Overlap in Evidence Synthesis

Introduction: In medical research, evidence synthesis often involves the need for combing findings from multiple observational studies. A common challenge in this process is the potential overlap of samples across studies, especially when utilizing existing databases like registries [ref:1].
