#systematic-review

Conduct a systematic literature review. Process: 1. Define research question and scope. 2. Develop search strategy (databases, keywords, Boolean operators). 3. Set inclusion/exclusion criteria. 4. Screen titles and abstracts. 5. Full-text review of selected papers. 6. Extract data systematically. 7. Synthesize findings thematically. Use tools: Zotero, Mendeley for reference management. Create PRISMA flow diagram. Assess quality of studies. Identify gaps in literature. Aim for 30-50 key sources. Document search process for reproducibility.

Conduct a meta-analysis following PRISMA guidelines. Steps: 1. Formulate PICO question (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome). 2. Systematic literature search. 3. Study selection and quality assessment. 4. Data extraction (effect sizes, sample sizes, moderators). 5. Calculate pooled effect size (fixed or random effects). 6. Assess heterogeneity (I² statistic, Q-test). 7. Test for publication bias (funnel plot, Egger's test). 8. Conduct sensitivity and subgroup analyses. Use software: R (metafor), Comprehensive Meta-Analysis. Report with forest plots.

Design a systematic literature review following PRISMA guidelines. Protocol steps: 1. Define research question using PICO framework (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome). 2. Develop search strategy: identify 3-5 databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science), create Boolean search terms, set inclusion/exclusion criteria. 3. Screen titles/abstracts independently by 2 reviewers, resolve conflicts with third reviewer. 4. Full-text review using predefined criteria. 5. Data extraction using standardized forms (study design, sample size, outcomes, bias assessment). 6. Quality assessment using appropriate tools (Cochrane Risk of Bias, Newcastle-Ottawa Scale). 7. Synthesize findings narratively or through meta-analysis if appropriate. Document decisions transparently. Register protocol in PROSPERO before starting.
