The Stata Journal, 2015 Network meta-analysis is a popular way to combine results from several studies (usually randomized trials) comparing several treatments or interventions. It has usually been performed in a Bayesian setting, but recently it has become possible in a frequentist setting using multivariate meta-analysis and meta-regression, implemented in Stata with mvmeta.

Network meta-analysis and random walks [PDF]
Statistics in Medicine, 2021 Abstract Network meta-analysis (NMA) is a central tool for evidence synthesis in clinical research. The results of an NMA depend critically on the quality of evidence being pooled. In assessing the validity of an NMA, it is therefore important to know the proportion contributions of each direct treatment comparison to each network ...

Network meta-analysis explained [PDF]
Archives of Disease in Childhood - Fetal and Neonatal Edition, 2018 Healthcare decisions should be based on all relevant evidence.1 Usually, this is provided by randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing two or more interventions for a condition affecting a target population of interest, although other forms of evidence can be considered.1 2 When more than one study is available, meta-analysis can be used to combine

The statistical importance of a study for a network meta-analysis estimate [PDF]
, 2020 BackgroundIn pairwise meta-analysis, the contribution of each study to the pooled estimate is given by its weight, which is based on the inverse variance of the estimate from that study.

Inconsistent Results for Peto Odds Ratios in Multi-Arm Studies, Network Meta-Analysis and Indirect Comparisons. [PDF]
, 2021 The Peto odds ratio is a well known effect measure in meta-analysis of binary outcomes. For pairwise comparisons, the Peto odds ratio estimator can be severely biased in the situation of unbalanced sample sizes in the two treatment groups or large ...

Network meta‐analysis of multicomponent interventions [PDF]
Biometrical Journal, 2019 AbstractIn network meta‐analysis (NMA), treatments can be complex interventions, for example, some treatments may be combinations of others or of common components. In standard NMA, all existing (single or combined) treatments are different nodes in the network.
