 For instance, in the diagram below, the black box displays the odds of mortality for Mechanical Thrombectomy plus IV-tPA compared to Mechanical Thrombectomy alone (0.929 : 1), while the red box displays the odds of mortality for Mechanical Thrombectomy alone with respect to Mechanical Thrombectomy plus IV-tPA (1.08 : 1), or the inverse of the red box. For instance, in the diagram below, the black box displays the odds of mortality for Mechanical Thrombectomy plus IV-tPA compared to Mechanical Thrombectomy alone (0.929 : 1), while the red box displays the odds of mortality for Mechanical Thrombectomy alone with respect to Mechanical Thrombectomy plus IV-tPA (1.08 : 1), or the inverse of the red box.

 Toggling to SUCRA in the top middle will display a **SUCRA ranking**, which displays Interventions in order based on their odds of achieving a given outcome. So, if high odds represent patient benefit, the 1st Intervention in the ranking represents a preliminary estimate of where that Intervention ranks in terms of patient benefit. Toggling to SUCRA in the top middle will display a **SUCRA ranking**, which displays Interventions in order based on their odds of achieving a given outcome.
