使用R、GeMTC和STATA软件实现连续变量的网状Meta分析

How to Perform Network Meta-Analysis of Continuous Variable Using R,GeMTC and Stata softwares

当前已发表的介绍网状Meta分析的方法学文章主要集中于二分类变量,尚无针对连续性变量的相关报道。本文介绍如何使用R、GeMTC和Stata软件联合实现连续性变量网状Meta分析的计算及绘制收敛诊断图、轨道密度图、森林图、等级概率图、内部关系总结图、网状关系图、贡献图和发表偏倚检测图。

The published methodological studies about network meta-analysis mostly focused on the binary variables, but study focused on the continuous variables was few. This study introduces how to use R, GeMTC and Stata softwares jointly to produce various graphics of continuous variable network meta- analysis. It also introduces how to perform the convergence diagnostics, trace and density plot, forest, rank probabilities and rankogram, internal relationship summary chart, network plot, contribution plot and publication bias test.
