Parameters from conditional logit regression (on log scale) with treatment burden as a reference (main analysis), mean best-minus-worst scores with a possible range of [−5,5] (sensitivity analysis 1), SUCRA scores with a possible range of [0,1] (sensitivity analysis 2).

aTreatment burden was chosen as the reference, as it was the least worrisome outcome, so all parameters would be positive
