Changes to review heading structure for intervention reviews
What business value does this epic create? / Which problem is this epic trying to solve?
Strategic fit
Link to strategy: GOAL 1 Streamlining production of reviews and simplifying editorial systems and processes
Future of review production project: New review format
Hypothesis
Success metric
Which assumptions are made in relation to the value?
- Supplementary materials mandatory when this is introduced
- Likely need an optional period.--> will need to support old and new structure at the same time
- All review types need to be included in scope but launch could be staged for different review types
What are the dependencies for fulfilling the business value?
- Finalized heading structure changes: see NRF_Subheading changes_intervention_Aug2023.xlsx
- Agree roll-out strategy
- When should this be launched?
- Will heading structure changes be enabled only when focused article format is enabled? Ella Flemyng ?
- When should this be launched?
- At some point during or before this epic we move away from using RevMan 5 files to create reviews from Porto and Archie (plan Create reviews based on templates without using RevMan 5 files before this epic)
- Code for unsupported review types removed - RMW-3235 - Getting issue details... STATUS
- How do we handle headings that are removed or merged? (Delete content or rules to somehow keep the content)
What are the risks related to this roadmap item?
- Accidentally removing review text that is relevant to keep
- Mitigation: Rigorous testing of process to merge
- Intentionally removing review text that is relevant to keep
- Mitigation: Sign off solutions to merging and deleting review text with editorial stakeholders
What is included in the scope of this solution?
- Changes to headings structure see NRF_Subheading changes_intervention_Aug2023.xlsx

- Rename Secondary outcomes to "Important outcomes" in Methods - optional, change to heading level 3
- Rename "Assessment of risk of bias in included studies" to "Risk of bias assessment in included studies" in Methods
- Remove "Assessment of heterogeniety" under Methods - move text to after the text in 'Synthesis methods' in Methods
- Rename "Assessment of reporting biases" to "Reporting bias assessment"in Methods
- Rename "Data synthesis" to "Synthesis methods"
- Rename "Subgroup analysis and investigation of heterogeneity" to "Investigation of heterogeneity and subgroup analysis" in Methods
- Add level 4 heading "Equity-related assessment" after "Investigation of heterogeneity and subgroup analysis" and before "Sensitivity analysis" - make heading optional
- Make "Summary of findings and assessment of the certainty of the evidence" a proper standard heading (level 3), you should also be able to link to it & rename it to "Certainty of the evidence assessment"
- Add level 2 heading "Consumer involvement" after "Certainty of the evidence assessment" in Methods
- Rename "Effects of interventions" to "Synthesis of results"
- Add level 3 heading "Equity assessment" after "Synthesis of results" and before "Reporting biases" - make it optional
- Add level 3 heading "Reporting biases" after "Equity assessment" and before "Certainty of the evidence" - make it optional
- Rename Overall completeness and applicability of evidence to "Limitations of the evidence included in the review"
- Remove heading Quality of the evidence and move text under it to before the text in 'Limitations of the evidence included in the review'
- Rename "Potential biases in the review process" to "Limitations of the review processes"
- Add level 3 heading "Equity-related implications for practice" after "Implications for practice" and before "Implications for research" in Authors' conclusions - make it optional
- Add level 3 heading "Equity-related implications for research" after "Implications for research" in Authors' conclusions - make it optional
- Add level 1 heading Additional information before "Acknowledgements"
- Move Acknowledgements to Additional information
- Move "Contributions of authors" to after "Acknowledgements"
- Move "Declarations of interest" to after "Contributions of authors"

- What's new remains after "Data, code and other materials" (part of Additional information)
- History remains after What's new (part of Additional information)
- Remove "Differences between protocol and review", the text in section is moved to immediately after the Methods heading
- Figures moved to after references
- Tables moved to after figures
- For all reviews, the following headings structure changes are applied to heading structure in RevMan Web, JATS, view, PDF & xml in export when Focused Review Format is enabled
- Link options changed according to the above
- Update validation rules if you have enabled focused review format
- Ask Evidence prime to change Quality to Certainty of the evidence in all places in SoF
- During grace period, allow reverting but not after that, what are implications of this?
- Keep in case of data loss during conversion
Out of scope
- Address Version History problems.pptx, NOTE: impacts view, PDF & CLIB, Don't consider MVP but coul bean iteration (timeline: next year) → add to post MVP MURAL
- Maybe later: Add at the end of the title ": a systematic review and meta-analysis (in JATS only?)
- Another approach is enabling editing of the title in RevMan'
How much time do we estimate to implement this roadmap item?
Small = within 1 sprint = within 2 weeks, the estimate depends on whether it's possible to get the new heading structure into a RevMan 5 file as CCAs & Archie search still depend on the RevMan 5 file. We don't need to be able to import in reviewDB but the file needs to be valid.
This is a guesstimate made by the Review Production Team based on known information about the roadmap item and the capacity of the team at the time of estimation (2023-01-26).
