Reporting of results appear inadequate and heterogeneous in network meta-analyses .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Reporting of results from network meta-analyses: methodological systematic review
BMJ. 2014 Mar 11;348:g1741. doi: 10.1136/bmj.g1741.121 network meta-analyses were included in this systematic review to examine the current reporting methodologies. Results revealed an overall inadequacy and heterogeneity in reporting essential components. 100 studies failed to describe the network and network geometry, and 52 and 96 studies failed to report number of RCTs and patients, respectively. 109 studies failed to report the direct and indirect evidence and 71 failed to report the direct, indirect, and mixed evidence. Overall, evaluation of the composite outcome revealed inadequate reporting in 119 of 121 studies.
