Abstract：The network Meta-analysis based on direct and indirect evidence has been more and more popular in recent years. R netmeta package is a software of network Meta-analysis based on frequency study graph-theory model, and it can be applied in the Meta-analysis of multiple data types including binary and continuous variable and network Meta-analysis of survival material, and provides the methods of heterogeneity and consistency checking and merit sorting of different interventional measures. The methods of achieving network Meta-analysis of survival data by using netmeta package in R software were demonstrated with examples in this paper.
