![]() ![]() Structure your analyses from the outset: Our tool helps authors be more systematic in predefining their analyses, ensuring that decisions are not driven by what is reported in the included studies. ![]() Study centric data has been in development for over two years and has been piloted with multiple author teams. These relate to defining the criteria for including studies (PICO criteria for the review) and defining criteria for how studies will be grouped for synthesis (PICO criteria for synthesis questions). Chapters 2, 3 and 9 of the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions, and the Intervention Synthesis Questions (InSynQ) checklist (in development), provide the methods that underpin study centric data. This facilitates better defined and more focused reviews, with clearer criteria for the review and planned syntheses. Authors invest more time earlier in the review process to streamline the later analyses stages. It enables authors to work smarter in RevMan. With study centric data, authors set up their review’s inclusion criteria and analyses within RevMan in advance (protocol stage) to facilitate data extraction and automatically populate their analyses. For ongoing protocols and reviews, switching this feature on is simple and can be done yourself. Authors now have access to a new data management feature – study centric data - when creating new reviews. Cochrane has now fully upgraded to RevMan Web, meaning RevMan 5, the desktop version, is no longer available. ![]()
