Stata is statistical software that combines programming and un-programming, which is easy to operate, of high efficiency and good expansibility. In performing meta-analysis, Stata software also presents powerful function. The mvmeta package of Stata software is based on a multiple regression model to conduct network meta-analysis, and it also processes "multiple outcomes-multivariate" data. Currently, the disadvantages of mvmeta package include relatively cumbersome process, poor interest-risk sorting, and lack of drawing function in the process of conducting network meta-analysis. In this article, we introduce how to implement network meta-analysis using this package based on cases.
