Lollipop plot summarising the reporting frequency of the reporting items to determine gaps and improvements in reporting and evaluating the transitivity assumption among systematic reviews published before and after the PRISMA-NMA statement. Percentage frequency below 25% is very low, equal or above 25% but below 50 is low, equal or above 50% but below 75% is moderate, and at least 75% is high. The percentage of direct and indirect methods for transitivity has been calculated using the subset of systematic reviews that reported at least one direct or indirect method. The percentage of transitivity definition at the protocol level has been calculated using the subset of systematic reviews that made a protocol available
