Consistency test results of network meta-analysis for neck pain (VAS-neck) (node-splitting)

Comparison Direct evidence Indirect evidence Difference P value
Delta vs PE 0.26 0.10 0.16 0.631
Delta vs UBE 0.08 0.24  − 0.16 0.631
PE vs UBE  − 0.02  − 0.18 0.16 0.631

Consistency was assessed using the node-splitting method. All P values were greater than 0.05, indicating no significant inconsistency within the network
