This paper is part of a series of methodological guidance from the Cochrane Rapid Reviews Methods Group (RRMG). Rapid reviews (RRs) use modified systematic review (SR) methods to accelerate the review process while maintaining systematic, transparent and reproducible methods to ensure integrity. This paper addresses considerations around the acceleration of study selection, data extraction and risk of bias (RoB) assessment in RRs. If a RR is being undertaken, review teams should consider using one or more of the following methodological shortcuts: screen a proportion (eg, 20%) of records dually at the title/abstract level until sufficient reviewer agreement is achieved, then proceed with single-reviewer screening; use the same approach for full-text screening; conduct single-data extraction only on the most relevant data points and conduct single-RoB assessment on the most important outcomes, with a second person verifying the data extraction and RoB assessment for completeness and correctness. Where available, extract data and RoB assessments from an existing SR that meets the eligibility criteria.
本文是 Cochrane 快速综述方法学小组（RRMG）系列方法学指导文件的一部分。快速综述（RR）使用改良的系统综述（SR）方法来加速综述过程，同时保持系统、透明和可重复的方法以确保完整性。本文讨论了 RR 中研究选择、数据提取和偏倚风险（RoB）评估加速的相关考虑。如果正在进行 RR，审查团队应考虑使用以下一种或多种方法学捷径：在标题/摘要层面上双重筛选一定比例（例如 20%）的记录，直到达到足够的审稿人一致性，然后进行单审筛选；在全文筛选中使用相同的方法；仅对最相关的数据点进行单一数据提取，并对最重要的结果进行单一 RoB 评估，第二个人对数据提取和 RoB 评估的完整性和正确性进行验证。在可用的情况下，从符合入选标准的现有 SR 中提取数据和 RoB 评估。
