extractNodesplit(ns.res, treatments, backtransf)

Arguments

ns.res	An object of class mtc.nodesplit
treatments	A data frame with columns 'description' defining the treatment names and 'id' defining the treatment ID numbers.
back_calc	A logical indicating whether results should be back transformed. If set to TRUE then log odds ratios (or hazard ratios etc) will be converted to odds ratios (or hazard ratios etc).

Details

This function takes the output from the function mtc.nodesplit and returns a data frame of the results for each treatment comparison that can be split. The results are presented as one row per treatment comparison.

Value

A data frame. Column headers starting 'dir.' are the treatment effect and corresponding 95% confidence intervals for the direct comparison. Column headers starting 'ind.' report the same information for the indirect comparison. Column headers starting 'cons.' report the pooled estimate using both direct and indirect evidence under a standard consistency model. Columns labelled RoR report the ratio of direct:indirect effect estimates and the corresponding 95% confidence interval
