Network geometry of the direct comparison in the eligible 16 RCTs. Network (a) expressed individual drugs or their combinations as each node, and a direct comparison of two different treatments in an RCT was shown as a line between nodes. Network (b) combined all inhaled treatments other than individual LAMA/LABAs to each drug class (ICS/LAMA/LABA, ICS/LABA, LAMA, and LABA) and expressed them as each node. The number of direct comparison was expressed as a number in the middle of a line between nodes. ACL aclidinium, BEC beclomethasone, FOR formoterol, FLU fluticasone, GLY glycopyrrolate, IND indacaterol, OLO olodaterol, PBO, placebo, SAL salmeterol, TIO tiotropium, UME umeclidinium, VIL vilanterol
