Network meta-analysis in diabetes comparing effects of a number of drugs on the HbA1c value.

These data are used as an example in Senn et al. (2013) and have been preprocessed for use in R package netmeta.

Format

A data frame with the following columns:

TE treatment effect
seTE standard error of treatment effect
treat1 treatment 1
treat2 treatment 2
treat1.long treatment 1 (full treatment names)
treat2.long treatment 2 (full treatment names)
