Assessment of the risk of bias via the consistency/inconsistency regression with 95% prediction bands concerning the efficacy (A) and safety (B) outcomes and after sensitivity analysis (C,D) by excluding the treatment comparisons introducing inconsistency in the Bayesian network. AECOPD: acute exacerbation of COPD; CV: cardiovascular; FEV₁: forced expiratory volume in the first second; SAE: serious adverse event; SGRQ: St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire; TDI: transitional dyspnea index.
