====== Critical Appraisal (previously named Risk of Bias) ======

===== Objective =====

Evaluate the quality of evidence of included cohort studies or controlled trials.

<WRAP center round info 60%> We are currently in the process of transitioning our module names with the goal of making the AutoLit workflow easier to understand for first-time users.

**Extraction** is now **Meta-Analytical Extraction**, and **Risk of Bias** is now **Critical Appraisal.**

Bear with us as we edit our documentation (don't worry, no feature functionality has changed!) and, as always, contact us at [[support@nested-knowledge.com|support@nested-knowledge.com]] if you have any questions. </WRAP>
