Systematic review support

Bring structure to a complex body of evidence.

Build the right scope for your review, whether you need help defining the question, improving the search, or moving an established review toward a manuscript.

Quoted after scope review. The review type, search coverage, workload, and synthesis requirements determine the proposal.

From a question to a considered synthesis.

  1. Question and protocol
  2. Search and screening
  3. Extraction and appraisal
  4. Synthesis and reporting

Agree on responsibility at each stage.

A scope that fits the work.

  • Define the question and review type

    Start with the intended decision, population, evidence, and audience. A systematic review, scoping review, and focused literature review require different plans.

  • Make the workflow explicit

    Agree on search development, screening responsibilities, extraction, appraisal, and decision records. Team responsibilities should be clear before work starts.

  • Match synthesis to the evidence

    Meta-analysis depends on compatible studies and an appropriate question. Where pooling is unsuitable, define a transparent alternative synthesis.

Questions before you begin.

Can I request help with one stage?
Yes, describe the completed work and the stage you want reviewed or supported. The team will assess the proposed scope.
Does every review include a meta-analysis?
No. Pooling depends on the clinical and methodological compatibility of the included evidence.

Start with a clear scope.

Tell us where the work stands and what you need next. Confirm the deliverables and the final quote before commissioning support.
