ROBIS guidance confirms process-focused domains with interpretation addressed only in Phase 3 overall judgment

Extract¶

The ROBIS guidance document details the four Phase 2 domains which are fundamentally process-oriented. Phase 3 asks whether the interpretation of findings addresses all concerns identified in Phase 2. The tool cannot independently verify whether data extraction and characterization of individual studies is accurate — it assesses whether the process was followed, not whether the outputs of that process are faithful to the original sources.
