SUCRA

SUCRAClinical

Single number summarising an intervention's overall rank probability in a network meta-analysis

SUCRA converts the probability that an intervention is best, second-best, etc. across all outcomes into one percentage, with values closer to 100% indicating a higher average rank. It is a convenient summary statistic but can overstate confidence when based on a thin evidence network with few direct comparisons, as the authors themselves caution for the cluster-set ranking here. It should be interpreted alongside the underlying credible intervals, not in isolation.
