R language could call OpenBUGS software for performing network meta-analysis using R2OpenBUGS package, BRugs package, and rbugs package. In this paper, we introduced how to implement network meta-analysis using these three packages. The results show that the computed results are similar for the three packages; however, the rbugs package could not draw the plot, only R2OpenBUGS package could draw forest plot.
