Network plots on a thrombolytics (first example) [19, 20], b smoking cessation (second example) [21], and c Parkinson’s disease (third example) [22]. Each node refers to a treatment and each edge to an observed (direct) comparison. The nodes’ size and the edges’ thickness are proportional to the number of randomised participants in the respective treatments and the number of studies investigating the respective comparisons. Numbers on the edges refer to the number of studies. Coloured loops indicate multi-arm studies. Acc t-PA, accelerated alteplase; t-PA, alteplase; ASPAC, anistreplase; PTCA, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty; r-PA, reteplase; SK, streptokinase; SK + t-PA, streptokinase plus alteplase; TNK, tenecteplase; UK, urokinase
