In netmeta: Network Meta-Analysis using Frequentist Methods

#' Create a data frame from an object of class netconnection
#' 
#' @description
#' The \code{as.data.frame} method returns a data frame containing
#' information on membership of studies / pairwise comparisons to a
#' (sub)network.
#' 
#' @param x An object of class \code{netconnection}.
#' @param \dots Additional arguments (ignored).
#' @return A data frame is returned by the function
#'   \code{as.data.frame}.
