The Challenge
Risk of Bias (RoB) assessment is a critical yet time-consuming step in systematic reviews. A market access consultancy recently engaged Reliant AI to assess how Reliant Tabular could expedite this process.
Manually extracting data and conducting a RoB assessment is time consuming and a tedious process, taking an average of two hours per document. The process involves applying the same structured process to each study and key outcome and repetitive tasks like documenting evidence and validating answers..RoB Assessment are time consuming,which is a huge problem for teams facing increasing demands on their time.
The Solution
This organization piloted Reliant Tabular for two months to streamline their RoB assessment. Tabular eliminated much of the manual busywork with features like PDF source viewer and highlighting, cell validation, CSV exporting, and the ability to quickly compare answers across studies.
