The pcnetmeta package in R is a special package for performing network meta-analysis based on Bayesian theory, which combines the strength computing function of JAGS software and the special data integration and powerful graph drawing function of R software. This package conducts calculation by calling JAGS, provides 3 different models for users, and each model can yield results of 3 effect-sizes (RR, OR and RD). At the same time, this package can draw many kinds of plots, which greatly meets actual needs of users to deal with complicated network meta-analysis. In this article, we introduce how to use pcnetmeta package to perform network meta-analysis based on an example.
