Which is best software for performing systematic review.
Rayyan or Covidex or Revman
Hi Khan,
In terms of systematic reviews and softwares, if you will be planning to perform systematic review and meta-analysis I would suggest you go for RevMan as it will help in creating plots. Secondly RevMan can be useful when assessing the risk of bias such that it offer you opportunity to creates figures and plots to demonstrate the risk of bias and your judgement thereof each study.Third you can use rev man to create a summary of findings table using RevMan. On the other hand you can use either Rayon or covidex during screening process of studies you identified through online data search.
Best regards
Hi Khan,
Between Rayon and Covidex I would prefer Rayon. Otherwise you can still use Mendeley desktop software to perform screening of studies which is very user friendly.
Hello Fayaz Khan, I have used both Covidence and Rayaan. Both have their own strengths and challenges. Removing duplicates, sorting by journal, author, country of publication, year of publication are some of the key strengths of Rayaan whereas Covidence is more user-friendly. Till the charting of the final articles, Covidence is nice to work with. A limitation with Covidence is it's not free for unlimited time.
Kirti Sundar Sahu Dear Kirti, so do you prefer Rayyan or Covidence over Revman.
Covidence, as it is well accepted by Cochrane too. https://community.cochrane.org/help/tools-and-software/covidence
If you wish to Systematic Review and Meta-analysis, you need more than one software.
Each for - data management, meta-analysis and summary of findings.
You need data managing tool such as Endnote X9 or Madeley.
For meta-analysis, Revman is best one, and stata and R software is other options. SPSS also provides meta-analysis facilities in letest version.
And finaly GRADE software to create Summary of Findings (SoF) tables in Cochrane systematic reviews.
Hi Fayaz, Rayyan is a good choice for systematic review. It's easy to use and the customer service is quite quick to reply you if you need any help.
I hope that helped.
Rayyan is good for systematic review. Otherwise, I recommend you DistillerSR
Hi Fayaz,
You could use more software like:
Ryyan QCRI (selection process of studies); Covidence and ENDNOTE;
RevMan (process of meta-analysis and analyse risk of bias); JASP; Metafor ("R"); JAMOVI;
Thanks

Thanks
Appreciate your responses
Not as a sofware, but as a very effective online platform for doing systematic reviews, I highly recommend Covidence. This is the link: https://www.covidence.org/
