+ | ==== Tagging Hierarchies ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | In hierarchical tagging systems, tags can be nested under broader umbrella tags. For example, tags for interventions of interest can be grouped together under an " | ||

+ | When applying tags from a hierarchical tagging structure, it's important to apply tags from the lowest level possible. For example, when using the hierarchy above, studies reporting patients treated with remdesivir should be tagged with " | ||

+ | ===== Applying Tags ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | When applying a tag, it's useful to note the text, figure, or table in the study that supports the application of that tag. For example, the text supporting the tag "adult patients only" on a study might read "We excluded pediatric patients." | ||
