Implication

Software report presents an interactive visualization platform for systematic maps, facilitating geographical and cross-tabulated evidence synthesis.

Key Points

Develop and describe EviAtlas, an open-source, R-based tool created to produce interactive visualizations and structured summaries from systematic mapping databases.
Engineered an open-access and open-source application built in R during the Evidence Synthesis Hackathon held in Stockholm in April 2018.
Designed modules to ingest systematic review and map metadata to create structured tables, geospatial maps, and cross-tabulated visual outputs.
Enabled automated generation of an Evidence Atlas that provides spatially explicit geographical mapping of research data alongside full interactive data tables.
Incorporated heat maps for cross-tabulating multiple variables and standard descriptive plots that chart publication temporal trends and country-level study frequencies.
