Five instruments, one workspace
- RoB 2 for randomized trials
- ROBINS-I for non-randomized studies of interventions
- Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for cohort and case-control studies
- JBI checklists
- AXIS for cross-sectional studies
Pick the instrument, judge each domain for each study, and record your supporting text as you go. Your judgements save with the project, next to the screening decisions and extracted data they came from.
The figures journals expect
Covexe generates the two standard risk-of-bias figures: the traffic light plot (every study by every domain) and the weighted summary bar chart, in the publication style journals are used to seeing from robvis. Export them for your manuscript when the assessment is done.
AI drafts, you judge
For judgement-based instruments (RoB 2, ROBINS-I, JBI, AXIS), an AI assistant can read the study and draft a per-domain judgement with a supporting quote. Drafts are visibly marked as drafts, and nothing becomes final until you accept, edit, or discard it. The judgement stays yours, which is exactly what your methods section claims.
If you only need the figure
robvis is an excellent R package, and if your assessments are already finished in a spreadsheet, it will draw them well. Covexe covers the step before the figure too: the assessment itself, with the instrument built in, no R required, and the figure drawn from your live judgements.
