Describe the bug
The robvis tool currently only supports the original ROBINS-I structure, which consists of seven domains. However, the ROBINS-I tool was updated (as of 20 November 2025) and now utilizes a revised structure consisting of only six domains. When attempting to use the current robvis template for a systematic review following the latest methodology, it is impossible to correctly map the data without including a redundant seventh column or misrepresenting the new domain structure.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Go to the robvis web application (or use the R package).
Select 'ROBINS-I' from the tool dropdown menu.
Attempt to upload a CSV/Excel file containing assessments based on the updated ROBINS-I (6 domains).
See that the tool requires 7 domain inputs to generate the summary and traffic light plots, leading to errors or incorrect visualizations for the updated methodology.
Expected behavior
I expected to see an updated template for ROBINS-I that matches the current official guidance (6 domains) or an option to select between "ROBINS-I (Original)" and "ROBINS-I (2025 Update)".

Additional context
This issue is specifically relevant for researchers and students (currently working on a master's thesis) who are required to use the most recent version of the ROBINS-I tool (November 2025). Since robvis is the standard for Cochrane-style visualizations, an update to reflect the 6-domain structure is highly desirable for compliance with the new methodology. This matter is somewhat time-sensitive due to academic deadlines.
