Dear Tobias,
If you want to fit a functional relationship between the relative effects and time, there is an R package for modelling time-course in Network Meta-Analysis (time MBNMA):

The methods are described here:

Best wishes,
Nicky

Subject: [R-meta] Network Meta Analysis with multiple Time points
Hello All,
I have question concerning a network Meta analysis that contains studies which measure their results at multiple time points. Which package can deal with this sort of Data? I know metafor can handle multiple time points in pairwise MA via multivariate methods. So it is probably possible to do that too? Are there any examples how to do that?
Regards
Tobias
