Quality assessment evaluates how trustworthy each included study is. EviSyn supports the two most widely used assessment tools — RoB2 (Cochrane Risk of Bias) and GRADE — with AI-generated assessments backed by quoted evidence.

​
Setting Up Assessment

Navigate to Quality Assessment from your project dashboard. Quality assessment setup

​
Stats Bar

​
Choose Your Assessment Tool

Select from the dropdown:

​
Managing Questions

Click Manage Questions to view and customize the assessment domains and questions. Each domain contains specific questions. For example, RoB2 includes: Bias arising from the randomization process:
  • 1.1 Was the allocation sequence random?
  • 1.2 Was the allocation sequence concealed?
  • 1.3 Did baseline differences suggest a problem?
Bias due to deviations from intended interventions:
  • 2.1 Were participants aware of their assignment?
  • 2.2 Were carers aware of participants’ assignment?
  • 2.3 Were there deviations from intended intervention?
  • 2.4 Did deviations likely affect the outcome?
You can:
  • Add questions to any domain
  • Remove irrelevant questions
  • Add domains for custom assessment criteria
  • Choose rating scales (Yes/No, Low/Some concerns/High)
Click Save Questions to save your configuration.

​
Running AI Assessment

Click Run AI Assessment to start. For each paper, the AI:
  1. Reads the full text
  2. Evaluates each question in each domain
  3. Provides a rating (Low risk / Some concerns / High risk)
  4. Quotes the specific text from the paper that supports the rating
  5. Includes page and section references
  6. Explains its reasoning in plain language

​
Human Confirmation

Every AI assessment starts as a draft. Reviewers must:
  • Review each domain rating
  • Check the quoted evidence against the source
  • Confirm or override the AI’s judgment
