Create a practice review

Create a practice review

Log in to RevMan (create a Cochrane account first if you do not have one).

Click on My Reviews on the top menu.

Click on the Create Practice review button. This will be visible right away if you have no reviews. If you have a long list of reviews scroll down to the Practice Reviews heading.

You can create a practice review from: 

• The intervention review template in the focused review format. See further guidance on using the focused review format template.
• "Inhaled corticosteroids for asthma"  - an example of an intervention review using study centric data.
• "Caffeine for daytime drowsiness" example review - set up for manual data entry. 
• Any review in your unit's portfolio. If you are part of an organisation, a unit lead or organisational admin may need to enable this for you in the Sharing settings of the review

Please note that it is not possible to export data from a practice review.

Note the expiry date

Practice reviews automatically expire 30 days after creation. You can see the expiry date for each practice review. 

You can also use the bin icon to delete a practice review at any time.

If you have reached the maximum number of concurrent practice reviews, the 'Create Practice Review' button will be inactive. To reactivate it, delete one of the practice reviews or wait until it expires. 

Cochrane authors and RevMan subscribers can create up to 5 simultaneous practice reviews. Trial users can only create one practice review at a time.

Work in the practice review

Open the practice review by clicking on its title. You can edit the review like a live review, adding text, data and figures. However, note that part of the dashboard is disabled.

Please note any data and changes made will be lost after the practice review is deleted or expires.
