11.3.3  Other data tables

The ‘Data and analyses’ section allows an outcome type of ‘Other data’. Results of individual trials may be entered here as plain text. This option is well suited for entering non-standard summary statistics such as median values, or for basic data underlying estimates and standard errors that have been entered under the Generic inverse variance outcome type (for example, means and standard deviations from cross-over trials).
