Abstract: Network meta-analysis has been established in recent years as a particularly useful evidence synthesis tool. However, it is still challenging to develop understandable and concise ways to present data, assumptions, and results from network meta-analysis to inform decision making and evaluate the credibility of the results. In this article, we provide a suite of commands with graphical tools to facilitate the understanding of data, the evaluation of assumptions, and the interpretation of findings from network meta-analysis.
