Figure 2. Comparative Outcomes and Acceptability.

Results on the comparative benefit and acceptability from network meta-analyses (gray) and pairwise meta-analyses (white). To make network and pairwise meta-analysis results directly comparable, estimates are presented as column vs row for the network meta-analyses, and row vs column for the pairwise meta-analyses. A and B illustrate standardized mean difference (SMD) (95% CI); C, odds ratio (OR) (95% CI). Standardized mean differences less than 0 and ORs less than 1 indicate superiority of psychotherapy over pharmacological treatment and of combined treatment over either approach alone. NA indicates not applicable.

^aNo I² statistic could be estimated because no meta-analysis could be performed (ie, only 1 study was available).
