Figures & data
Notes: The thickness of the connecting lines represents the number of trials between each comparator, and the size of each node corresponds to the number of subjects who received the same pharmacological agent (sample size). (A: TAC; B: placebo; C: PDL; D: 5-FU; E: silicone; F: verapamil; G: TAC+5-FU; H: TAC+5-FU+PDL).
Abbreviations: TAC, triamcinolone acetonide; PDL, pulsed dye laser; 5-FU, 5-fluorouracil.
Abbreviations: TAC, triamcinolone acetonide; PDL, pulsed dye laser; 5-FU, 5-fluorouracil.
Notes: For efficacy and safety assessment, the pharmacological agent with the highest SUCRA value would be the most efficacious and safe treatment (A: TAC; B: placebo; C: PDL; D: 5-FU; E: silicone; F: verapamil; G: TAC+5-FU; H: TAC+5-FU+PDL).
Abbreviations: SUCRA, surface under the cumulative ranking curve; TAC, triamcinolone acetonide; PDL, pulsed dye laser; 5-FU, 5-fluorouracil.

Notes: The red line suggests the null hypothesis that the study-specific effect sizes do not differ from the respective comparison-specific pooled effect estimates. Different colors represent different comparisons (A: TAC; B: placebo; C: PDL; D: 5-FU; E: silicone; F: verapamil; G: TAC+5-FU; H: TAC+5-FU+PDL).
Abbreviations: TAC, triamcinolone acetonide; PDL, pulsed dye laser; 5-FU, 5-fluorouracil.
