Abhishek Mehan: Seeking Collaborators for a VTE Network Meta-Analysis

Abhishek Mehan, Med student at School Of Public Health – AIIMS, Rishikesh, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Looking for collaborators – network meta-analysis in venous thromboembolism.

I’m working on a systematic review and network meta-analysis of anticoagulation strategies in VTE, covering both the acute treatment phase and extended secondary prevention.

Where it stands: 23 randomised trials across the two networks. Frequentist NMA (netmeta) complete for the acute phase, Bayesian NMA (gemtc/JAGS) running in parallel, risk-of-bias assessment drafted, and study characteristics extracted.

Where I’d value help:

  • A second independent reviewer for Risk of Bias 2 and screening – methodologically required, and currently the main bottleneck
  • CINeMA / GRADE certainty-of-evidence assessment
  • Anyone comfortable with Bayesian NMA – particularly inconsistency diagnostics and heterogeneity priors in sparse networks
  • Clinical input from thrombosis, haematology or vascular medicine

Authorship will follow ICMJE criteria, discussed openly and agreed in writing before anyone commits time.

If you’ve worked on an NMA before – methods or clinical side – I’d like to hear from you.”
