Forest plot of sensitivity analysis of splitting direct and indirect evidence for the outcome total number of skeletal‐related events (risk of bias low). In addition to the confidence interval for the network estimator, a prediction interval is shown.

Local approach to check inconsistency—comparison of direct and indirect estimate for closed loops. There is one closed loop in the network (graph not shown; zoledronic acid—clodronate—no treatment/placebo). There is no significant difference between direct and indirect estimate (P value of test for disagreement: P = 0.710).
