Table 2 Direct and indirect evidence of primary endpoints in the network meta-analysis

From: The optimal timing and intervention to reduce mortality for necrotizing pancreatitis: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

  1. ORs with 95% CrI below the diagonal were from the network meta-analysis, combining direct and indirect evidence, whereas ORs with 95% CI above the diagonal were from pairwise meta-analysis. ORs compared the column-defining and row-defining agents. Values > 1 indicated that the intervention for necrotizing pancreatitis in the corresponding column had a higher risk of mortality or major complications than those in the corresponding rows and values < 1 indicated a lower risk
  2. CIs confidence intervals, CrI credible interval, DD delayed drainage, DE delayed endoscopic debridement, DEU delayed endoscopic step-up approach, DS delayed surgery, DSU delayed surgical step-up approach, ED early drainage, EEU early endoscopic step-up approach, ES early surgery, ORs odds ratios
