abstract: 'A comprehensive set of functions providing frequentist methods for network
  meta-analysis (Balduzzi et al., 2023) <https://doi.org/10.18637/jss.v106.i02> and
  supporting Schwarzer et al. (2015) <https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-21416-0>,
  Chapter 8 "Network Meta-Analysis": - frequentist network meta-analysis following
  Rücker (2012) <https://doi.org/10.1002/jrsm.1058>; - additive network meta-analysis
  for combinations of treatments (Rücker et al., 2020) <https://doi.org/10.1002/bimj.201800167>;
  - network meta-analysis of binary data using the Mantel-Haenszel or non-central
  hypergeometric distribution method (Efthimiou et al., 2019) <https://doi.org/10.1002/sim.8158>,
  or penalised logistic regression (Evrenoglou et al., 2022) <https://doi.org/10.1002/sim.9562>;
  - rankograms and ranking of treatments by the Surface under the cumulative ranking
  curve (SUCRA) (Salanti et al., 2013) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclinepi.2010.03.016>;
  - ranking of treatments using P-scores (frequentist analogue of SUCRAs without resampling)
  according to Rücker & Schwarzer (2015) <https://doi.org/10.1186/s12874-015-0060-8>;
  - split direct and indirect evidence to check consistency (Dias et al., 2010) <https://doi.org/10.1002/sim.3767>,
  (Efthimiou et al., 2019) <https://doi.org/10.1002/sim.8158>; - league table with
  network meta-analysis results; - ''comparison-adjusted'' funnel plot (Chaimani &
  Salanti, 2012) <https://doi.org/10.1002/jrsm.57>; - net heat plot and design-based
  decomposition of Cochran''s Q according to Krahn et al. (2013) <https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2288-13-35>;
  - measures characterizing the flow of evidence between two treatments by König et
  al. (2013) <https://doi.org/10.1002/sim.6001>; - automated drawing of network graphs
  described in Rücker & Schwarzer (2016) <https://doi.org/10.1002/jrsm.1143>; - partial
  order of treatment rankings (''poset'') and Hasse diagram for ''poset'' (Carlsen
  & Bruggemann, 2014) <https://doi.org/10.1002/cem.2569>; (Rücker & Schwarzer, 2017)
  <https://doi.org/10.1002/jrsm.1270>; - contribution matrix as described in Papakonstantinou
  et al. (2018) <https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.14770.3> and Davies et al.
  (2022) <https://doi.org/10.1002/sim.9346>; - subgroup network meta-analysis.'
