Critical Analysis of Reporting Quality of Network Meta-Analyses in Periodontology and Implantology.

ABSTRACT: The increasing recognition of network meta-analyses (NMAs) in dentistry, particularly in periodontology and implantology, lacks assessed reporting quality. To address this, our study will undertake a systematic review of previously reported NMAs. Researchers conducted an electronic search in Web of Science and Scopus to identify NMAs across all dentistry journals. Two independent investigators selected studies, extracted data, and assessed reporting quality using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for NMA (PRISMA-NMA) checklist with 32 items. Each "yes" response earned 1 point, and "no" responses received 0 points, yielding an overall reporting quality score. In total, 39 NMAs were included in this study. The NMAs were published between 2010 and October
