SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Systematic reviews require a transparent, repeatable protocol to synthesize existing evidence across disciplines, ensuring reproducibility and reducing bias.

Core Features & Use Cases

PICO(S)-driven question framing guides precise eligibility and search terms.
Protocol registration and documentation covers objectives, eligibility criteria, search strategies, data extraction plans, and bias assessment.
Comprehensive workflow includes database searching, study screening, data extraction, risk-of-bias appraisal, synthesis, and structured reporting.

Quick Start

Draft a focused PICO(S) question and register the review protocol in an appropriate registry (e.g., OSF) before initiating screening.

FAQPage Schema

How do I conduct a systematic review using PRISMA guidelines?▼

A systematic review using PRISMA guidelines requires framing a PICO(S) research question, registering a protocol, searching databases, screening studies, extracting data, assessing risk of bias, and synthesizing evidence to ensure transparency and reproducibility.

What is a PICO(S) framework for evidence synthesis?▼

The PICO(S) framework for evidence synthesis defines a research question by specifying Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome, plus Study design, to guide precise eligibility criteria and database search strategies.

How do I document a search strategy for a systematic review protocol?▼

Documenting a search strategy for a systematic review protocol involves recording database queries, eligibility criteria, and data extraction plans to maintain transparency and reduce bias during evidence synthesis.

Can I use this systematic review protocol for social sciences research?▼

Yes, this systematic review protocol is applicable across social sciences, healthcare, and evidence synthesis, providing a transparent, repeatable workflow to reduce bias and ensure reproducibility in diverse disciplines.

Do I need to register a protocol before starting a systematic review?▼

Yes, registering a systematic review protocol in a registry like OSF before initiating screening is required to document objectives, eligibility criteria, and search strategies, ensuring transparency and reducing bias.

What's the best way to assess risk of bias in a systematic review?▼

The best way to assess risk of bias in a systematic review is applying standardized risk-of-bias tools during data extraction, followed by GRADE assessment to evaluate evidence certainty and ensure bias-aware synthesis.
