 + 
 +  - Do the studies meet the inclusion criteria? 
 +      - Are they the primary studies and not secondary studies? 
 +      - Are there any papers with biased sub-populations? Flag them for further review. 
 +  - Is the tagging complete? 
 +      - Check for gap teeth 
 +      - Check for missing tags 
 +      - Use the bulk actions to apply missing tags to included studies and go back and add text. 
 +  - Is extraction done correctly? 
 +      - Are all the units matching? 
 +        - Check this using quantitative synthesis 
 +      - Is the same scale used for a given outcome across papers? 
 +      - Is there missing data that should have been extracted? 
 +        - Can standard deviation (SD) be calculated from standard error (SE) or confidence interval (CI)? 
 +        - Was there data in the results/discussion section that should have been extracted? 
 +        - Was there data in tables that should have been extracted? 
 +        - Are there any secondary analyses with extra data we could extract? 
 +          - If so, make sure you comment where you got the data. 
 +        - Is there a supplement with useful data? 
 +          - If so, make sure you comment where you got the data. 
 +        - Is there data on clinicaltrials.gov? 
 +          - If so, make sure you comment where you got the data. 
 +      - Were there errors in the extraction? 
 +        - Make sure means/medians are not confused. 
 +        - Make sure SD/SE are not confused. 
 +        - Make sure IQR and range are not confused. 
 +        - Make sure LS means are treated separately from (arithmetic) means. Unless otherwise specified it will be an arithmetic mean. 
 +        - Make sure loss to follow up is reflected in the sample sizes. 
 +      - Are outcomes extracted at compatible timepoints across papers? 
 +      - Are blanks and 0s properly differentiated? 
 +      - Are the definitions of data elements consistent across papers?
