From: Individual patient data network meta-analysis using either restricted mean survival time difference or hazard ratios: is there a difference? A case study on locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinomas

Forest plot for overall survival with hazard ratios (on the left) and restricted mean survival time difference at t* = 10 years (on the right) showing results from direct comparisons (random effects meta-analysis) and network meta-analysis. Only comparisons involving more than one trial are presented. Within each meta-analysis, I2 represents the proportion of total variation in study estimates that is due to heterogeneity [18], p represents the p value for the heterogeneity statistic Q. AC adjuvant chemotherapy, CRT concomitant chemoradiotherapy, HR hazard ratio, IC induction chemotherapy, rmstD restricted mean survival time difference, RT radiotherapy. The scale of the rmstD was inverted with a negative value on the right, in order to allow visual comparisons with HR. Trial names are defined in Table 1 footnote
