<b>Systematic review</b> | |||
A systematic review summarizes the findings of primary research studies that address a specific research question. It uses explicit and reproducible methods to search, appraise, and synthesize the evidence. | |||
Systematic reviews are often used to inform clinical guidelines and policy. | |||
<b>Meta-analysis</b> | |||
A meta-analysis is a statistical process that combines the results from multiple studies to estimate the overall effect of a variable or intervention. Meta-analyses are often an outcome of a systematic review. | |||
<b>Scoping review</b> | |||
A scoping review is a preliminary assessment of the available research literature on a topic. It aims to identify the nature and extent of the research evidence, including ongoing research. Scoping reviews are less rigorous than systematic reviews and are not usually used to inform policy and practice. |
