Risk-of-bias VISualization (robvis): An R package and Shiny web app for visualizing risk-of-bias assessments

Luke A. McGuinness et al.

Summary: Despite the availability of numerous software options for evidence synthesis, there is currently no universal tool for generating figures to display and explore risk-of-bias assessments. However, tools such as the R programming environment and Shiny have made it easy to create new tools for producing evidence syntheses. The new tool robvis facilitates the rapid production of publication-quality risk-of-bias assessment figures and is available as an R package and web app.

Effect of folic acid combined with docosahexaenoic acid intervention on mild cognitive impairment in elderly: a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

Mengyue Li et al.

Summary: Daily oral intake of folic acid (FA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), or their combination for 6 months significantly improved cognitive function and decreased plasma inflammatory cytokines in elderly individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The combined use of FA and DHA was more effective than each nutrient alone.
