ObjectiveTo systematically interpret the updated risk of bias in non-randomized studies of interventions version 2 (ROBINS-I V2) in 2024, summarizing its key improvements, operational procedures, and clinical application value. MethodsThrough literature review and case studies, the improvements of ROBINS-I V2 were compared with the 2016 version, including the expansion of bias domains, refinement of signaling questions, and optimization of decision flowcharts. A retrospective study in stomatology was used to demonstrate the practical application of the tool. ResultsThe ROBINS-I V2 tool has restructured the hierarchy and refined the definitions of bias domains, optimized the evaluation processes across seven risk-of-bias dimensions, and minimized subjective judgment errors through standardized decision flowcharts. ConclusionROBINS-I V2 significantly improves the rigor of bias assessment in non-randomized intervention studies through its scientific design and standardized workflow. It is recommended for evidence quality grading and decision-making support in clinical research.
