Insert analysis results

To cite the full results of an analysis in the text, open the Context Pane to view analysis result. Click on Analyses to reveal more details and find the analysis which results you wish to insert. 

Select the text containing the results, then:

  • Click on the text and drag it into the review text section.

OR

  • Right-click and choose 'Copy' (or Ctrl+C) and paste it into the review text (or Ctrl+V).




If you wish add more analysis results, you can click on the icon next to each analysis to preview the analysis forest plot. Select the text you want to copy into the review, right-click to copy it and then paste it into the text.


Insert an internal link to the relevant analysis. 


Ensure analysis numbers update dynamically

Analyses are automatically renumbered. Always refer to analyses via internal links, not plain text, to ensure any subsequent exclusions will be reflected in the text. 

When you insert an internal link to refer to an analysis, the analysis will be renumbered dynamically if you subsequently add an analysis, or exclude an analysis from publication.

Example:

  1. See analysis 1.1 (plain text)
  2. See Analysis 1.1 (inserted link)

If analysis 1.1 is subsequently excluded, and analysis 1.2 is renumbered to become 1.1, you will need to update the text manually in example (1). In example (2) the text will update dynamically. 


Link to a forest plot

When you View the review in RevMan the figure will show at the end of the review. It will show inline in the text when published on the Cochrane Library.

All forest plots are included by default in the Data and analyses section of the published review. You only need to link to the most important figures from the text - up to a maximum of 6. See Add a Figure.
