League table to compare network estimates (lower triangle) with direct estimates of pairwise meta-analysis (upper triangle) of tDCS for improving arm function (MD and corresponding 95% CI). Treatments are listed in order of relative ranking. Comparisons between treatments should be read from left to right. Their MD (unit: UE-FM scores) and corresponding 95% CI can be obtained from the cell shared by the column defining treatment and the row defining treatment. Positive MDs favor the column defining treatment for the network estimates (lower triangle) and the row defining treatment for the direct estimates (upper triangle). Physical rehabilitation means control interventions like physiotherapy, occupational therapy or virtual reality training. UE-FM: Upper Extremity Fugl-Meyer assessment
