DOnt we need to use multiarm = TRUE, # Adjust for multi-arm trials in the netmeta() function in this case ?

Thank you for the tutorial video. I wonder how I can save figures such as forestplot, netgraph, netrank in TIFF format for publication in a journal.

Thank you for this video, it is very helpful. However, I have a problem when trying to edit the netgraph. I have tried to adjust the cex.points based on the number of treatments, as you did, and the number of comparisons between studies for my network meta analysis, but it only gives errors. There is no problem when I run your example with your database, but I can`t do it with my study. Where did you get the n.trts function? This is the error message that I get when I try to use it: "Error in round(n.trts) : non-numeric argument to mathematical function". I have tried to use other functions but it only recognizes numeric arguments or "n" argument. Thank you very much.
