Hi Ruth,
this is possible through reports, even if it is a little tricky. The basic principle is to create a report of type "Multiple" and force all coding information you are interested in to appear in the report.
The "Multiple" mode makes all first level children of a code appear in the report. What is not handy is that it will not crawl down to second and lower level sub-codes. This is not a huge limitation as it can be done quite quickly by hand.
1. Create a report and name it after a code set (make sure it's of "Mutiple" type).
2. Add a column to the report, call it "Root" and drag the codeset into it.
3. Expand the codeset and add all codes that have children to the report. You can add a new column for each branching level or add all nodes in the same column, I guess this is a matter of personal taste.
root _ Code1 _ Code2
| |_Code3
|_Code4
|
|_Code5 _ Code6
|_Code7 _ Code8
|_Code9
In the example above, you will want to include "root", "Code1", "Code5" and "Code7".
4. Save the report, select all documents you wish the report to run against and run the report.
You will have to repeat this process for all codesets you might need, but considering that this is something you need to set only once I guess it should not take too much time.
My considerations:
- Even if it is possible to extract all coding data in this manner, I am sure we will find a better way to deal with this kind of "show me all" needs. Please keep an eye on the latest changes announcements to learn when these features will be published.
- For very large reviews (10K+ of included studies), such reports may fail to run because of timeout issues. In such cases, please report to us (via this forum or email) and we will fix the reporting mechanisms for you whenever possible.
