*Values in parentheses are 95% confidence intervals. A risk ratio (RR) greater than 1.00 favours the comparator (more desirable events with comparator than with intervention); a RR of less than 1.00 favours intervention (fewer desirable events with comparator than with intervention).

MA standard pairwise meta-analysis, NMA network meta-analysis.
