For each league table, estimates in the lower triangle represent the odds ratio (or mean difference) for the row treatment compared with the column treatment; estimates in the upper triangle represent the column treatment compared with the row treatment. For odds ratios, values < 1 favor the column treatment, values > 1 favor the row treatment.
