In plain language
No network meta-analysis was fitted here. The protocol requires at least two trials forming a connected network; this outcome has 1 trial. The trial data below are shown as reported.
Network of trials
Each circle is a treatment; each line joins treatments that were randomized against each other in at least one trial.
Baseline characteristics of the trials
The baseline value of each effect modifier or prognostic factor that applies here, per trial: mean or percent over arms, weighted by the number randomized. A note under a value names a stand in (a median for a mean, 100 minus the male share, Asian subgroup rows, an all Asian site list); "not reported" means no source of the trial prints it.
| Trial | Baseline HbA1c (percent) effect modifier, prognostic factor; 1 of 1 | Background glucose lowering therapy (stratum S0 to S4) effect modifier, prognostic factor; 1 of 1 | Diabetes duration (years) effect modifier, prognostic factor; 1 of 1 |

Comparability of the trials
Checked across designs (the set of treatments each trial compares) for eligibility, outcome definition and assessment, and the baseline factors above. Flags point to possible intransitivity; notes describe variation that is not tied to design.
No comparability concerns were found.

Trial data
What each trial contributes. Arm rows give the arm value with its standard error, or events over participants; contrast rows give the odds ratio on the analysis scale (log) against the trial's first row. Flags mark converted, combined or approximated inputs.
