Systematic Reviews & Meta-Analyses

Systematic review is a review of a clearly formulated question that uses systematic and explicit methods to identify, select and critically appraise relevant research, and to collect and analyse data from the studies that are not included in the review.  Statistical methods (meta-analysis) may or may not be used to analyse and summarise the results of the included studies.

Meta-analysis is a statistical technique that combines the results of individual studies to arrive at one overall measure of the effect of a treatment.
