1. Lower–left triangle presents the findings (MD with 95%CI) of the network meta–analysis conducted using Stata 15.1. Upper–right triangle presents the findings (SMD with 95% CI) of the pair–wise meta–analyses conducted using STATA 15.1 and N refers to the numbers of RCTs which compared the 2 interventions directly. 3. A positive MD favors the lower–right intervention; a negative MD favors the upper–left intervention.4. Statistically significant findings are shaded. A, ANB (axillary nerve block); B, CEB (cervical epidural block); C, EA (external application); D, HTESPB (high thoracic erector spinae plane block); E, IAI (intra–articular injection); F, ICSCB (infraclavicular–suprascapular blocks); G, INB (interscalene nerve block); H, INB+IAI (interscalene nerve block + intra–articular injection); I, INB+IVA (interscalene nerve block + intravenous administration); J, INB+OA (interscalene nerve block + oral administration); K, INB+SSNB (interscalene nerve block + suprascapular nerve block); L, OA (oral administration); M, PL (placebo); N, SCNB (supraclavicular nerve block); O= SGB (stellate ganglion block); P, SSNB (suprascapular nerve block); Q, SSNB+ANB (suprascapular nerve block + axillary nerve block).

Red represents the code of intervention measures and green represents the significant difference between two intervention measures with statistical significance.
