Net benefit for value-adjusted cumulative event number in each arm:
Comparator (Benefit - Harm) = 854
Intervention (Benefit - Harm) = 278
How calculated?

Net benefit in value-adjusted cumulative event number = Σ(VBk*ECk)-Σ(VHj*ECj) for comparator; Σ(VBk*EIk)-Σ(VHj*EIj) for intervention. k and j = 1~4.

Difference between these two is net benefit between two arms (Intervention - Comparator).

VBk: Importance of benefit outcome k. ECk: Number of event for outcome k in comparator arm.
VHj: Importance of harm outcome j. ECj: Number of event for outcome j in comparator arm.
EIk and EIj are those in intervention arm. VBk and VHj are ratios to the maximum value (100).

Calculation of absolute risk of the intervention population from Risk Ratio (RR), Odds Ratio (OR), Risk Difference (RD), and Hazard Ratio (HR):
CER is the absolute risk of the comparator population.
Calculate RR from OR: RR = OR/[1 - CER*(1 - OR)]
Calculate RR from RD: RR = (CER + RD)/CER
Calculate RR from HR: RR = [1 - exp(HR*ln(1 - CER)]/CER
then calclate the absolute risk of the intervention population as CER*RR.
