Data Abstraction Set Up

On the Data Extraction tab, you can setup how the data extraction and related evidence tables will look for the project.  Key elements to understand for the data extraction tab are 'Data Label Groups' and 'Data Labels'.

Data Label Groups

For large evidence tables it is sometimes easier for data extractors if the evidence table is grouped into logical sets.  For example, you might want to put study design and patient population data into one group and then put results and statistical analysis into another group and a third group might be for meta analysis data.   

Data Labels

Within a Data label Group you can create any number of data elements.  These are customized to your data extraction needs and you can label them as you wish.  The order in which the labels are displayed can be modified by dragging the element to where you wish it to be displayed.

Evidence table Templates

You can create reusable evidence table templates that can used across projects.  This is detailed in the Evidence table Template Guide
