About

Critiplot is a free, open-source tool for generating publication-quality risk of bias assessment figures. It supports multiple assessment tools like NOS, GRADE, ROBIS, JBI and MMAT, making it easier for researchers to visualize their systematic review and meta-analysis results.

I created this tool after noticing a significant gap in accessible, user-friendly visualization options for risk of bias assessments for those assessments which lacked support using standardized tools like Robvis. Researchers were spending countless hours manually creating plots or struggling with complex software that required advanced technical skills.

Critiplot aims to make risk of bias visualization accessible to all researchers, ensure reproducibility in evidence synthesis workflows and save valuable time that can be better spent on analysis and interpretation.
