Figure 1From: Characteristics of a loop of evidence that affect detection and estimation of inconsistency: a simulation study Histograms of the within-loop heterogeneity, mean treatment effect, number of trials per meta-analysis and inconsistency. Mean treatment effects are displayed on the absolute of the log-odds ratio scale. Heterogeneity is estimated with the DerSimonian and Laird method. Histograms are plotted for 40 published networks of evidence [14].Back to article page
