    • The methods identified in this study can be used in future individual patient data network meta-analyses
    • Highlighted the need for improving the methodological and reporting characteristics of individual patient data network meta-analyses, which is essential to ensure accuracy in clinical decisions
    • One in three indirect comparison methods modeling individual patient data adjusted results from different trials to estimate effects as if they had come from the same, randomized, population
    • Key methodological and reporting elements (e.g., evaluation of consistency, existence of study protocol) were often missing from an indirect comparison papers
