SUCRA in Stata 16

[ANDRE RUSSOWSKY BRUNONI]

Dear all,

I have noticed that the SUCRA command for network meta-analysis is not working in Stata 16.

When I try to run it in Stata 16 the following message appears:

use smoking, clear
network setup d n, studyvar(study) trtvar(trt) numcodes
network meta consistency
network rank max, all zero gen(prob)
sucra prob*, rankograms

_P invalid name (reserved word) r(198)

For the same sequence, in Stata14, the last sentence runs correctly.

It seems that _P is a reserved word in Stata16.

Any thoughts?

Thank you

With that said, perhaps running the sucra command under version control will help, since the authors neglected, at least in sucra.ado, to include version control.
