  1. Results are shown as relative risk (95% credible interval). “Base case” refers to the adjusted analysis undertaken using the 10 studies listed in the document containing appropriate information. As with the unadjusted analyses, a relative risk <1 should be interpreted as a given treatment being less efficacious (that is, worse) than entecavir and a value >1 being more efficacious (that is, better). DIC, deviance information criteria.
