Step 3 - Filling in the matrix

The default setting (    ) is that the study did not report the outcome but it is not clear whether the outcome was measured or not. You change the setting to either full reporting (    ), partial reporting (     ) or not measured (     ), by clicking on the cross once for full reporting, twice for partial reporting and three times for not measured. Clicking on it again, reverts to not reported (    ).
