Complete remission
The results of network meta-analyses are presented as odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for complete remission (bottom left) and total remission (upper right). The risk estimate is for the column-defining treatment compared to the row-defining treatment. Statistical significance is defined as 95% confidence intervals that do not overlap 1.0.
