Fig 7 Bayesian network subanalysis of closed loop plain balloons (PB), drug coated balloons (DCB), and drug eluting stents (DES), with additional frequentist pairwise comparisons for the endpoint of target lesion revascularisation. Network of trials investigating the effects of each treatment was considered. Left section of figure shows network node-split (network subanalysis) and corresponding rank probabilities for target lesion revascularisation; direct evidence estimates represent results of the Bayesian pairwise meta-analyses, and I2 values for each comparison grade the heterogeneity between trials from a Bayesian estimate of τ2. Right section of figure shows standard, frequentist pairwise comparisons from the DerSimonian-Laird random effect model. OR=odds ratio; CrI=credible interval; CI=confidence interval
