Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses

The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) is a set of guidelines that helps researchers report their review of multiple studies in a clear and transparent way. It ensures they provide all important details about how studies were chosen, analyzed, and combined. This helps others understand the process, assess the reliability of the findings, and trust the conclusions. PRISMA improves the quality and transparency of scientific reviews, making them more useful for informing healthcare decisions and future research.
