Extract¶

ROBIS is completed in 3 phases: (1) assess relevance, (2) identify concerns with the review process through four domains (eligibility criteria, study identification/selection, data collection/appraisal, synthesis/findings), and (3) judge overall risk of bias including whether interpretation addresses identified limitations. However, Phase 3 relies on what reviewers report rather than independent verification against original sources.
