Abstract

PURPOSE: RobotReviewer is a machine learning system for semi-automated assistance in risk of bias assessment. The tools's performance in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in the field of nursing remains unknown. We aimed therefore to evaluate the agreement in risk of bias assessment between RobotReviewer and human reviewers.
