Network meta-analysis may be performed by fitting multivariate meta-analysis models with Stata software mvmeta command; however, there are various challenges such as preprocessing the data, parameterising the model, and making good graphical displays of results. A suite of Stata programs, network, may meet these challenges. In this article, we introduce how to use the network commands to implement network meta-analysis by the example of continuous data.
