Network Meta-Analysis Comprehensive Appraisal

Overview

This skill enables systematic, reproducible appraisal of network meta-analysis (NMA) papers through:

1. Automated PDF intelligence - Extract text, tables, and statistical content from NMA PDFs
2. Semantic evidence matching - Map 200+ checklist criteria to PDF content using AI similarity
3. Triple-validation methodology - Two independent concurrent appraisals + meta-review consensus
4. Comprehensive frameworks - PRISMA-NMA, NICE DSU TSD 7, ISPOR-AMCP-NPC, CINeMA integration
5. Professional reports - Generate markdown checklists and structured YAML outputs

The skill transforms a complex, time-intensive manual process (~6-8 hours) into a systematic, partially-automated workflow (~2-3 hours).
