Network diagram. The connecting lines indicate which pairs of treatment were directly compared in randomized trials; number on lines indicate the number of trials. FLUD = fluphenazine decanoate, FPD = flupentixol decanoate, HAL = haloperidol decanoate, PBO = placebo, PLAI = paliperidone palmitate, RLAI = risperidone LAI, ZPD = zuclopenthixol decanoate
