This is a toy dataset containing simulated effect size data of a fictitious network meta-analysis examining the effect of psychotherapies. Effect size data is provided as the standardized mean difference (SMD) between the intervention and control group and its corresponding standard error for each study at post. The dataframe layout is optimized for out-of-the-box usage using the data.re argument of the mtc.network function.

diff

numeric. The standardized mean difference of the comparison. The row in each study in which this variable is NA represents the comparison condition for the effect size displayed above.

std.err
