A Network Meta-Analysis on Randomized Trials Focusing on the Preventive Effect of Statins on Contrast-Induced Nephropathy

Table 5

Effect estimates for the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy excluding the study by Han et al. [4]. Results are reported as probability of being best treatment (Pbest) and odds ratios (OR) with 95% credible intervals of a given row item versus a corresponding column item. Thus, OR < 1 indicates lower risk in the corresponding row item and OR > 1 indicates lower risk in the corresponding column item.
