Outline
Today's Discussion
A systematic review is a secondary research as it requires a careful analysis of the quality, quantity, and consistency of research findings. S y stematic reviews formulate research questions that are specifically targeted and designed to provide a complete summary of the issue based on evidence. The methodology used in systematic reviews is specific and precise, which intends to minimize bias by increasing the reliability of the drawn conclusion.
In Brief
A s y stematic review is a process of identifying comprehensive studies for a research specific question through evaluating the methods of the study, summarizing the results, presenting key findings and identifying reasons for produced results across the study.
In a s y stematic review , the compiled information tends to be explicit and more transparent using reproducible methods.
The produced results of a systematic review can be summarized either in text or graphic
form, and it depends upon the nature of the primary data.
The PRISMA, provides a set of regulations on how to report a s y stematic review .

1. FOCUSED QUESTION
a systematic review is a research method used to address a specific research question and formulating a well-constructed research question is essential for a successful review.
INCLUSION/EXCLUSION CRITERIA
It studies the writers included or excluded and the reason.
SEARCH STRATEGY
The reviewer must explain the methods used for finding relevant studies which include published and unpublished clinical trial reports, online database search, as well as approaching experts in finding unpublished data.
Contd..
STUDY SELECTION
Need to identify suitable study criteria and collect relevant data for conducting a s y stematic review .
ASSESS THE QUALITY OF STUDIES
It helps in identifying the risk of bias in secondary research.
SYNTHESIZE STUDY RESULTS
Upon similarity on the included data, the author must determine the effectiveness of an intervention using meta-analysis.
ANALYSIS AND LIMITATIONS
The review should discuss the addressed area of study, the findings, and how the review results change the existing limitations.
Different types of Reviews:
There are many types of reviews addressing questions of effectiveness, questions about the prevalence of diagnostic accuracy, and prognosis. Different types of reviews include,
Literature Review Meta-analysis Rapid review Scoping review S y stematic review
Systematized review Umbrella review
Mainly focused on one question.
It follows peer review protocol or plan. Study-specific objectives are identified. A systematic search will be conducted. Clear and explicit.
Research question specific information extraction.
It describes an overview and not based on a single question.
It has no protocol.
No such objectives will be identified. Search strategy will not be mentioned. Not described
Extracting relevant information is not specific to a single question
Systematic Review Literature Review
In summary, a s y stematic review is a search of all sources of evidence for relevant studies or on research question specific study.
Predetermined reproducible criteria to screen for eligibility and relevance assessment
of titles and the abstracts will be followed.
Each study will then be assessed in terms of methodological quality, and finally, the evidence is synthesized.
