Upgrading the appraisal tools#534

I have noticed the great efforts to include several appraisal tools to complete the process of SR-MA. However, I have noticed that updates are missing, incluidng Rob2 and ROBINSII. In addition, I cannot remove the diagram related to other studies in the PRISMA diagram. I hope to give an option to remove the unnessary fl flow chart.

Dr. Salem- Thanks for the feedback!

  1. We do support RoB2! (see screenshot, version 2)
  2. Could you provide documentation or clarification on ROBINSII? ROBINS-I, which we support, is an acronym for Risk Of Bias In Nonrandomized Studies of Interventions, and the trailing I does not indicate a version. As far as we’re aware, this is the most up to date version (per Cochrane’s RoB tools site)
  3. Regarding diagram related to other studies, do you mean “Identification of new studies by other methods” in the PRISMA 2020 flow diagram? If so, this is part of the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Nested Knowledge software doesn’t deviate from this guidance, and we generally recommend researchers against doing so. This portion of the diagram will only have non-zero counts when you’ve imported records via “Other Sources” in the software and is useful for providing auditability of a less-reproducible aspect of the review.
    1. If you dislike this portion of the diagram, you may consider switching to the 2009 version of the diagram (but, it is not the most recent version of the PRISMA standard).

Please let me know if I’m misunderstanding any part of your request. Thanks!
