RevMan was essential for this module because it is the standard software specifically designed for conducting systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The hands-on nature of the workshop required participants to directly perform key steps of a meta-analysis, including data entry, risk of bias assessment, effect size calculation, and generation of forest and funnel plots. These core activities cannot be adequately demonstrated or practiced without access to RevMan. Using RevMan ensured that participants gained practical, real-world skills aligned with internationally accepted methodologies, particularly those recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration.
