The design-by-treatment interaction model: a unifying framework for modelling loop inconsistency in network meta-analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this note, we clarify and prove the claim made Higgins et al. () that the design-by-treatment interaction model contains all possible loop inconsistency models. This claim provides a strong argument for using the design-by-treatment interaction model to describe loop inconsistencies in network meta-analysis. © 2015 The Authors.

Consistency and inconsistency in network meta-analysis: concepts and models for multi-arm studies‡
Meta-analyses that simultaneously compare multiple treatments (usually referred to as network meta-analyses or mixed treatment comparisons) are becoming increasingly common. An important component of a network meta-analysis is an assessment of the extent to which different sources of evidence are compatible, both substantively and statistically. A simple indirect comparison may be confounded if...
متن کاملA Novel Sustainable Closed-loop Supply Chain Network Design by Considering Routing and Quality of Products
One of the strategic decisions that can be made in supply chain is designing its network which has high impact on costs, and satisfaction level of customers. This paper focuses on designing a distribution network including determining the number and location of facilities, how to allocate the customers in network, and also determining the extent of carrying different products from different ori...
متن کاملNetwork-meta analysis made easy: detection of inconsistency using factorial analysis-of-variance models
BACKGROUND Network meta-analysis can be used to combine results from several randomized trials involving more than two treatments. Potential inconsistency among different types of trial (designs) differing in the set of treatments tested is a major challenge, and application of procedures for detecting and locating inconsistency in trial networks is a key step in the conduct of such analyses. ...
متن کاملA Robust Reliable Forward-reverse Supply Chain Network Design Model under Parameter and Disruption Uncertainties
Social responsibility is a key factor that could result in success and achieving great benefits for supply chains. Responsiveness and reliability are important social responsibility measures for consumers and all stakeholders that strategists and company managers should be concerned about them in long-term planning horizon. Although, presence of uncertainties as an intrinsic part of supply chai...
متن کاملA Network Design Model for a Resilient Closed-Loop Supply Chain with Lateral Transshipment
This paper develops a model for the closed-loop supply chain network design with disruption risk. By considering supply disruption, two factors including extra inventory and lateral transshipment are used as resilience strategies. The main purpose is to reduce the supply chain costs due to the location decisions, quantity of products between different levels and lost sale. Disruption in a suppl...
