Drug ranking scores were normalized by the best ranking score. Score of 1 refers to the best ranking score, and the scores for other drugs are ranking scores relative the best ranking score. 95% confidence intervals were generated based on the uncertainty around the treatment effect estimates from the network meta-analysis.
