Program 9th Cochrane Workshop of the Cochrane Λήψη

The objective of the workshop is to introduce RevMan Web, the new review authoring tool, a platform where new statistical methods can more easily be introduced, its features and advantages, especially in synchronous co-working. The second part (and day) of this webinar is dedicated to the presentation of the Version 2 of the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials (RoB 2), which constitutes the recommended tool to assess the risk of bias in randomized trials included in Cochrane Reviews. RoB 2 is structured into a fixed set (five) of domains of bias, focusing on different aspects of trial design, conduct, and reporting. A structured algorithm leads to a specific judgement about the risk of bias from each domain, leading to the concurrent judgments as be ‘Low’ or ‘High’ risk of bias, or can express ‘Some concerns’.

As a result of attending this course, participants will be able to:

understand the step-by-step features that RevMan Web is offering
understand the concurrent work with co-authors
practice on various protocols and reviews online and in small groups
learn about new headings, adding of figures, save changes and make the analysis

edit and amend a review in RevMan Web
find and use the guidance and support available for RevMan Web users
assess the risk of bias in results of randomized trials using the developed RoB 2 tool
use the ROBINS-I tool for assessing risk of bias in non-randomized studies of interventions
practice on various examples on reviews online and in small groups
