Hi all, I want to fit a network (ie, >= 3 treatments) meta-analysis with multiple (>=2) outcomes using metafor. The concepts are described in this article by Riley et al?https://www.bmj.com/content/358/bmj.j3932 I could only find examples in the metafor website on network models (but only a single outcome) or multiple outcomes (but only 2 treatments). Is it possible to fit such model using metafor? If so, can anyone please provide a code example? Thank you in advance, Arthur M.

One can fit multivariate models and one can fit network meta-analysis models using metafor. The combination should also be possible.
If so, can anyone please provide a code example?
I don't have any example code and cannot create any new code at this point due to my injury.
