Fig. 1

Bland-Altman plots based on the empirical analysis of 29 networks illustrate the level of agreement between ‘on average MAR’ and other strategies for MOD under MAR assumption in terms of estimated log odds ratios (of comparisons with the selected reference intervention of each network), common between-trial variance (τ²), inconsistency factors, and P-scores. Use of normal distribution on log IMORs with mean 0 and variance 1. Different colours indicate the extent and balance of MOD across 29 networks (17 networks with at least one closed loop). CCA, complete case analysis; ICAp, imputed case analysis of observed event risks; IF, inconsistency factor; OR, odds ratio
