This recording of the 16 Jan 2014 webinar provides an overview of network meta-analysis and discusses advantages that it can offer over the traditional pairwise approach to meta-analysis. In this session, examples from the literature were used to familiarize researchers with situations where network meta-analysis can be helpful, to introduce terminology and methodologic concepts which are involved with this approach to evidence synthesis, and to suggest helpful resources which can guide systematic reviewers with regard to both transparent reporting and critical appraisal of network meta-analyses.
