2 Outline Part 1. Learning objective and introduction to NMA - Objective - What is an NMA - Ranking of treatments - NMA certainty in evidence assessment - Summary of Findings (SoF) tables in Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis 2
3 Outline Part 2. NMA-SoF table Introduction to the NMA-SoF table project Part 3. NMA-SoF table examples Part 4. Q&A 3
4 Part 1 LEARNING OBJECTIVE AND INTRODUCTION TO NMA 4
5 Learning objective To gain familiarity in interpreting findings of network meta-analysis (NMA) through NMA Summary of findings (SoF) tables developed based on principles of the approach to rating certainty of evidence from NMAs 5
6 WHAT IS AN NMA? 6
7 Introduction to NMA Absence of direct comparison between A and B Bupropion A B Nicotine replacement therapy C Placebo 7
8 Introduction to NMA 1 RCT OR= 0.48 ( ) Combined Direct vs. Indirect OR= 0.68 ( ) Bupropion A 9 RCTs OR= 0.51 ( ) 28 RCTs OR= 0.90 ( ) B 19 RCTs OR= 0.57 ( ) Nicotine replacement therapy C Placebo 8
9 WHAT ARE RANKING TREATMENTS? 9
10 Ranking Treatments Graphical 10
11 Ranking Treatments Numerical SUCRA Median and 95% CrI for the rank of each treatment 11
12 HOW TO ASSESS NMA CERTAINTY (QUALITY) IN EVIDENCE WITH? 12
13 Grading system in health-care to assess the quality (or certainty) of evidence and strength of recommendations Systematic Reviews Clinical practice guidelines
14 Determinants of certainty in a body of evidence GRADE A body of evidence starts as: high 5 factors that can lower quality 1. Risk of bias criteria Lack of randomization (non-randomized or observational studies) lowers confidence to low 2. Inconsistency (or heterogeneity) 3. Indirectness (PICO and applicability) 4. Imprecision 5. Publication bias
15 Determinants of certainty in a body of evidence: GRADE 3 factors can increase quality 1. large magnitude of effect 2. opposing plausible residual bias or confounding 3. dose-response gradient
16 NMA certainty in evidence High certainty and direct evidence contributes as much as indirect evidence Rate CiE direct estimates Rate CiE indirect estimates Rate CiE NMA estimates Risk of Bias Inconsistency Indirectness Publication bias Transitivity Lowest of the ratings of the two direct comparisons forming the most dominant first-order loop Incoherence Imprecision Not sufficient evidence, moderate, low or very low certainty 16
17 SUMMARY of FINDINGS (SoF) TABLES IN SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS AND META-ANALYSES 17

21 Part 2 NMA-SOF TABLE Introduction to the NMA-SoF table project NMA SoF table format 21
22 NMA-SoF TABLE: WHY? 22

36 Drawing conclusions from NMA
37 NMA-SoF table example 3 37
38 Wrapping up 38
39 Our NMA-SoF table captures the complexity of the information reported in a NMA publication while maximizing simplicity to achieve a user-friendly presentation. In a single NMA-SoF table we report relevant information that the literature described as important for NMA findings, including certainty of evidence, and ranking. Further experience with users may result in modifications to the current table, or the development of alternative formats. 39
