The network geometry for risk of rerupture, taken from Meulenkamp et al. [6], is shown. The reader can get a clear sense for how robust the comparisons are, both in terms of the numbers of studies making any comparisons a reader might be interested in and how many patients inform those comparisons. Node size is proportional to the number of participants in the specified treatment arm and is indicated by “n =” below the treatment name. Greater edge (connecting line) thickness denotes an increasing number of studies informing an indicated comparison and is specified with the number adjacent the edge.
