Re: Analysis of the systematic reviews process in reports of network meta-analyses: methodological systematic review

PRISMA statement was created and published in 2009. There might be a better reporting quality for network meta-analyses after the publication of PRISMA statement. Further analysis should be conducted to compare reporting of key methodological components for network meta-analyses with results published before and after the publication of the PRISMA statements.
