Network meta-analysis and random walks [PDF]

Statistics in Medicine, 2021
AbstractNetwork 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 treatment effect.
