Examples

# Only consider first five studies (to reduce runtime of example)
#
studies <- unique(Senn2013$study)
Senn2013.5 <- subset(Senn2013, study %in% studies[1:5])

# Transform data from long arm-based to contrast-based format
#
pw <- pairwise(studlab = study, treat = treatment,
  n = n, mean = mean, sd = sd, data = Senn2013.5,
  varnames = c("MD", "seMD"))

# Conduct random effects network meta-analysis with
# placebo as reference treatment
#
nma <- netmeta(pw, common = FALSE, reference = "plac")

# Generate a heat plot (with abbreviated treatment labels)
#
heatplot(nma, nchar.trts = 4)
