Dear Participants,

Thank you for signing up for this workshop. This website contains important information and materials in preparation for the workshop.

Most importantly, please remember to bring a laptop to the workshop as we will have hands-on work with the software to produce Summary of Findings Tables - the GDT. If you do not have a laptop, consider sharing with someone during the workshop.

Please download GRADEproGDT at www.gradepro.org. We will use it online but just in case the internet connections are not reliable, download the App (Google Chrome will be the best browser to use).

Please download RevMan at https://tech.cochrane.org/revman/download

Please save the RevMan file for the example. Note: the file has been modified from the original for this exercise (you will likely need to left click and 'save link as') RevMan file
