Current Example: Visualising ranking data

The aim of the challenge to visualise ranking data from a network meta-analysis (NMA).

In the absence of head-to-head trials the relative performance of 12 different treatments was assessed by synthesising 111 trials in a NMA. The response was defined using two different rating scales. The NMA was used to compute rank probabilities for each treatment. These are provided in the dataset.

The challenge aim is to visualise the relative performance of the treatments based on the ranking data. Also other metrics which can be derived from the ranking data may be considered to compare the treatments.
