There are five types of table in RevMan:
Tables in main text - optional, used for presenting limited amounts information in tabular format within the main body of text.
Characteristics of studies tables - mandatory tables used for recording the characteristics of studies that are included, excluded, awaiting classification, or ongoing. Each type of study has a number of predefined attributes, and you can include additional attributes.
Risk of bias tables - optional, used for additional characteristics of included studies. They are called Assessment of methodological quality tables in diagnostic reviews. In diagnostic reviews using the QUADAS-2 standard, the quality assessment interface is merged into the Characteristics of studies, but in the published review both tables are rendered separately.
Summary of findings tables - optional, can be generated with Grade Profiler software and imported (for Intervention reviews) , or created within RevMan.
Additional tables - optional, used for tables that are too large, or not sufficiently important to be in the main body of text.
RevMan does not reproduce the exact appearance of tables as they will be published in The Cochrane Library. See also Published PDF preview.
