Comparative effects of pharmacological interventions for the acute management of migraine attacks in adults: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

Results can be reproduced using the dataset. Each outcome-specific folder includes the related dataframe (df.main - df.rds) ready to be imported into the R environment as an rds file (R Data Serialization format) and analysed using the functions of the netmeta package. Before running any analyses, please exclude non-eligible arms (e.g., df <- df[(df$eligibility==1),]).

Summary of the key functions used

• netmeta() (e.g., netmeta(pw.df, ref = 'placebo'))
• netmetabin() (e.g., netmetabin(pw.df, ref = 'placebo'))
• netsplit() (e.g., netsplit(nma))

Details on these and other functions are included in the reference manual for netmeta package.
