The Cochrane Central Editorial Unit requested removal of the 'attempted network meta‐analysis' phrase from the end of the review title, as this further description of the review might create confusion in the reader. Although we followed the planned methodology for network meta‐analysis, it was not possible to assess whether the potential effect modifiers were similar across different comparisons. Therefore, we did not perform the network meta‐analysis, and instead, assessed the comparative benefits and harms of different interventions using standard Cochrane methodology. |
