RevMan Tutorial - Entering Data For Meta-Analysis

In this video tutorial, I will show you how to set up and enter data in RevMan to be able to perform a meta-analysis. I will also describe the output of the results.
In the example, I will use a continuous data type. However, most of the settings apply to other data types, such as odds ratios.
RevMan version used: 5.3

[@sathyasiva3061]

Hello for me outcomes are coming zero not show the analysis even though i added study comparsion and add study what do i want to do ?

[@monikamohanty1686]

For me also its zero. Please explain how to add literatures 1st to RevMan. Without adding its not possible to get acess to those papers. So its showing nothing.

[@lifescience0208]

Sir, I give it one tyr its showing zero in data table of the resutl. please help me out there..

[@rkirwan1]

Mate, I just want to say thank you for this. I have been terrified of stats all my life and in 12 minutes I've just performed my first MA (and sub-group analyses with the help of one of your other vids). Thank you so much. You're a total legend.

[@SuzanneO-lq4dg]

I totally relate to that.

[@govindchoudhary5632]

I wanna ask that can we do meta analysis as a thesis work for my post graduate research?

[@katiegriffiths9952]

Thank you so much, this was insanely helpful and so concise - I learnt more in these 12 minutes than in months!

[@supernurseprivatedutyrn]

That was very helpful. Until I watched this I did not understand most of what these statistics meant, nor Revman. Thanks to you, you made that a lot easier. Thank you.

That is the best video for someone like me, who has never done MA or worked with a Revman. I am stuck at the beginning. In the studies, shall I enter all relevant clinical trials about the drug I am study, or shall I enter the publications raised from these clinical trials?

Thank you for uploading a useful video. Suppose in the study there is a measurement of median and range instead of mean and SD, then How can we draw foster plot or which type of data we can use ?

Thanks for the explanation! which data type should I use when comparing the prevelance of a complication between a 'severe' and a 'less severe' group of patients with the same disease? also continues?

[@olcayonen8906]

Hi. Thanks for the great videos. I just wonder how do I enter my pre-post means and standart deviations for experimental and control groups. In your example as far as I understood you have post data for 2 groups. I have both pre test and post test results (Means SDs and number of participants for both experimental and control groups). Thanks in advance

Thank you so much for uploading this! really helpful for understanding revman. When I try to use revman, I only have the option for making a "practice review" does anyone know why this keeps happening/does it mean it won't save my data?

Any video for analysing outcome measures of each studies?

[@marinzualavangchhia9096]

Thanks

[@yusrahassan9168]

Great work explaining this! If you're analyzing an outcome measure from each study that was collected at two time points (I.e baseline vs. 6 weeks post baseline), which mean value (I.e. baseline? Post 6 weeks? Mean difference?) is entered for each group (I.e. intervention and control) when entering data?

[@g46rizarlazuardy39]

Have you got any answers for this? Because i appear to have the same problem. Thanks in advance.

[@phi5269]

Thank you very much for this video. I'm wondering about how to use RevMan to do risk of bias assessments... Also, is it possible to use RevMan to assess risk of bias for Exposure-type studies, and not Intervention-type studies...? I would appreciate the feedback...

Is there a way to see pooled values from the studies?

Can I do a Forest plot only having F values and P values? Studies don't always provide mean and SD(or SEM)

Hi! I have different datas from yours...how can I start from r and P to find mean and DS?

Hey is it possible to make plot with only mean differences? without SD. thanks for the video!

[@purnimakushwaha2882]

which value of mean and sd from articles have to put in table to generate forest plot??? plz reply

[@nathan-zuckerman]

At around minute 11:00, is there a way to set the scale intervals? For instance, the x-axis of my meta-analysis in revman shows numbers like "0.5 - 0.7 - 1 - 1.5 - 2". If I change the scaling, the numbers change but the intervals don't have the same size. I want the numbers to have the same distance to each other, like "0.5 - 0.75 - 1 - 1.25 - 1.5" and so on. Is that possible? Thank you very much.

[@puritykirk9897]

Came in soooo handy thank you so so so much..... Is there more on Meta Analysis and the nitty gritty of the whole subject? I really loved this.
