Abstract
Inferential fallacies with use of RR in indirect comparison provide scope for abuse with respect to choice in framing of outcomes, and confound decision making where both results are presented. The use of ORs overcomes this inferential fallacy, consistently informing inference with respect to direction of treatment effect in indirect comparisons.
