Title
netmeta: An R Package for Network Meta-Analysis Using Frequentist Methods
Subject
network meta-analysis, R, inconsistency, component network meta-analysis.
Description
Network meta-analysis compares different interventions for the same condition, by
combining direct and indirect evidence derived from all eligible studies. Network metaanalysis has been increasingly used by applied scientists and it is a major research topic for
methodologists. This article describes the R package netmeta, which adopts frequentist
methods to fit network meta-analysis models. We provide a roadmap to perform network
meta-analysis, along with an overview of the main functions of the package. We present
three worked examples considering different types of outcomes and different data formats
to facilitate researchers aiming to conduct network meta-analysis with netmeta
