Dear researchers, I am new to network meta-analysis and mostly self-learned therefore forgive me if my question sounds imprudent. I am planning to conduct a research on local adjuncts to treat a certain disease and found studies that has local and systemic adjuncts as parallel treatment arms against control.
Do I include these studies by taking only the local and control arms, removing the systemic arm OR do I exclude them altogether as they have systemic interventions as a treatment arm? I only plan to include local adjuncts and not systemic adjuncts. Thank you for your guidance.

Dear Dr. Tan, include the studies, extract the data of local arm vs. control, and only exclude the data of systemic arms.
