The Systematic Review

A systematic review is a thorough, organized way to gather and analyze all existing research on a specific question or topic. It involves carefully searching for relevant studies, assessing their quality, and summarizing their findings to provide a clear overall picture. This process helps identify what we know, what remains uncertain, and guides evidence-based decisions in healthcare, policy, and other fields. By combining data from multiple studies, a systematic review ensures that conclusions are reliable and not based on individual opinions or limited information.
