Table 2.1.

Mixed treatment comparisons (MTC) and direct evidence for the oral and intravenous administered medication. Upper right quadrants indicate the number of direct comparisons available, the direct ORs and 95% CIs, lower left quadrants indicate the MTC median OR and credible regions. Beneath the table is the estimated most likely treatment to stop children from vomiting: orally administered medication
