Code | Display | Definition |
std-MA | summary data meta-analysis | A meta-analysis of the summary data of estimates from individual studies or data sets. |
IPD-MA | individual patient data meta-analysis | A meta-analysis of the individual participant data from individual studies or data sets. |
indirect-NMA | indirect network meta-analysis | An indirect meta-analysis derived from 2 or more direct comparisons in a network meta-analysis. |
combined-NMA | combined direct plus indirect network meta-analysis | An composite meta-analysis derived from direct comparisons and indirect comparisons in a network meta-analysis. |
range | range of results | A range of results across a body of evidence. |
classification | classifcation of results | An approach describing a body of evidence by categorically classifying individual studies (eg 3 studies showed beneft and 2 studied found no effect). |
NotApplicable | not applicable | Not applicable because the evidence is not from a synthesis but from a single study. Used fo explicitly state that it's not a synthesis. |

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
Lvl | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organize codes for user convenience, but may follow code system hierarchy - see Code System for further information |
Source | The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere) |
Code | The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract') |
Display | The display (used in the display element of a Coding ). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application |
Definition | An explanation of the meaning of the concept |
Comments | Additional notes about how to use the code |
