In the previous article (Network Meta-analysis: Users' Guide for Surgeons-Part I, Credibility), we presented an approach to evaluating the credibility or methodologic rigor of network meta-analyses (NMA), an innovative approach to simultaneously addressing the relative effectiveness of three or more treatment options for a given medical condition or disease state. In the second part of the Users' Guide for Surgeons, we discuss and demonstrate the application of criteria for determining the certainty in effect sizes and directions associated with a given treatment option through an example pertinent to clinical orthopaedics.
在上一篇文章（《网络荟萃分析：外科医生用户指南——第一部分，可信度》）中，我们介绍了一种评估网络荟萃分析（NMA）可信度或方法严谨性的方法，这是一种创新方法，可同时解决针对特定医疗状况或疾病状态的三种或更多治疗方案的相对有效性问题。在《外科医生用户指南》的第二部分中，我们通过一个与临床骨科相关的示例，讨论并展示了用于确定与给定治疗方案相关的效应大小和方向的确定性的标准的应用。
