The aim of the study was to develop a Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) summary of findings (SoF) table format that displays the critical information from a network meta-analysis (NMA).
We applied a user experience model for data analysis based on four rounds of semistructured interviews.
We interviewed 32 stakeholders who conduct or use MA. Four rounds of interviews produced six candidate NMA-SoF tables. Users found a final NMA-SoF table that included the following components highly acceptable: (1) details of the clinical question (PICO), (2) a plot depicting network geometry, (3) relative and absolute effect estimates, (4) certainty of evidence, (5) ranking of treatments, and (6) interpretation of findings.
Using stakeholder feedback, we developed a new GRADE NMA-SoF table that includes the relevant components that facilitate understanding NMA findings and health decision-making.
本研究旨在开发一种分级评估、制定与评价(GRADE)总结报告(SoF)表格格式,以展示网络荟萃分析(NMA)的关键信息。
我们基于四轮半结构化访谈,应用数据分析用户体验模型。
我们采访了 32 名进行或使用 MA 的利益相关者。四轮访谈产生了六个候选 NMA-SoF 表格。用户对包含以下组件的最终 NMA-SoF 表格高度认可:(1)临床问题(PICO)的详细信息,(2)描绘网络几何形状的图表,(3)相对和绝对效果估计,(4)证据确定性,(5)治疗方案排名,以及(6)研究结果解释。
通过利益相关者的反馈,我们开发了一种新的 GRADE NMA-SoF 表格,其中包含有助于理解 NMA 结果和健康决策的相关组件。
