Synthesis, GRADE and exports

The work ends in documents: the PRISMA 2020 diagram, the summary-of-findings table with GRADE, the study tables and the bibliography of included studies.

PRISMA 2020 diagram

It is generated from the review’s counters: records per source, duplicates removed, screened, excluded, reports not retrieved, full-text exclusions by reason and included studies. Download it as editable SVG; any cell can be pinned by hand if an external count needs adjusting.

GRADE and summary of findings

Export → GRADE. Define the review’s outcomes.
For each outcome, rate the five domains (risk of bias, inconsistency, indirectness, imprecision, publication bias) and, where applicable, the factors that raise certainty.
The final certainty (high, moderate, low, very low) is computed and can be justified.
Export the summary-of-findings table as CSV or Word.
