Online Work Platform for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Platform Development Study
ABSTRACT
Background:
Cochrane launched RevMan Web to move the work of systematic review and meta-analysis online. Openness, sharing and collaboration are the characteristics of online work, which can not only improve the work efficiency, but also help improve the quality of systematic reviews.
Objective:
Some long-standing problems in the field of systematic reviews of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) can also be solved through this online working mode.
Methods:
We publicly released a website called TCMeta(Traditional Chinese Medicine Meta-analysis) that allows users to register and log in, submit research proposals, obtain relevant literature, and complete meta-analysis of TCM online.
Results:
TCMeta provides two main working modes: manual and query. The query mode can help quickly find the same type of TCM clinical research, and the online analysis function can improve the working efficiency of researchers.
Conclusions:
TCMeta records and presents the research process of a systematic review of TCM on the Internet, facilitating error detection and correction by researchers. The research process and data are fixed, open, shareable, and conducive to subsequent supplementation and verification.
