Covidence is an online tool that allows two or more people to screen references independently. In addition to screening of titles and abstracts, and full-text review, Covidence can be used for data extraction and critical assessment of methodological quality (risk of bias assessment). Covidence also creates a PRISMA flowchart based on all choices made in the program. In the video below you get an overview of the functions in Covidence.
