Dogliotti2014: Network meta-analysis of antithrombotic treatments in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation

Description

This dataset comes from a systematic review aiming to determine the effects of eight antithrombotic treatments in reducing the incidence of major thrombotic events in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (Dogliotti et al., 2014). The review included 20 studies (79,808 participants), four of which were three-arm studies. The primary outcome is stroke reduction.
