#' Network meta-analysis of treatments for Parkinson's disease
#' 
#' @description
#' Network meta-analysis comparing the effects of a number of
#' treatments for Parkinson's disease.
#' 
#' The data are the mean lost work-time reduction in patients given
#' dopamine agonists as adjunct therapy in Parkinson’s disease
#' (Franchini et al. 2012). The data are given as sample size, mean
#' and standard deviation in each trial arm. Treatments are placebo
#' and four active drugs. These data are used as an example in the
#' supplemental material of Dias et al. (2013) where placebo is coded
#' as 1 and the four active drugs as 2 to 5.
