GRADEpro GDT

The GRADEpro Guideline Development Tool (GDT) is the software used to create Summary of Findings (SoF) tables in Cochrane systematic reviews. GradePro GDT is an easy-to-use, all-in-one web solution to summarise and present information for healthcare-decision making.

You can import results of statistical analyses from RevMan and export a summary of findings table into the RevMan file. The Guideline Development Tool (GDT) supports import and export to RevMan 5 format.

The GRADE Working Group, Cochrane, and Members of McMaster University ensure up-to-date methods are incorporated into GRADEpro GDT and help to develop new functionalities. GRADEpro GDT is not managed or owned by Cochrane.
