Arm‐specific outcomes/arm‐level data: raw outcome data (e.g. mean (SD) or risk) for each arm of the trial (see treatment contrast).

Assumptions for NMA: in common with all meta‐analysis, the true treatment effect across trials is assumed to be described by a fixed‐effect or random‐effects model. Additionally, transitivity is assumed and, concurrently, exchangeability and consistency.

Baseline risk: the absolute risk of the outcome in the control group. This is affected by the presence of prognostic factors. Some authors have used the baseline risk as a proxy effect modifier, but in general the effect estimate (RR/OR/HR) is independent of the baseline risk; on the other hand, the absolute risk difference depends on baseline risk.

Bayesian approach: the explicit quantitative use of external evidence in the design, monitoring...
