# Transform data from long arm-based format to contrast-based
# format Argument 'sm' has to be used for odds ratio as summary
# measure; by default the risk ratio is used in the metabin
# function called internally.

p1 <- pairwise(treatment, event = r, n = N,
  studlab = author, data = Woods2010, sm = "OR")

# Conduct network meta-analysis
