Reviews

Completing and submitting the review is the 3rd step in the publication process. A review should:

• Build on the published version of the protocol
• Outline the results of the literature search
• Detail the methodological quality of the included studies
• Give the estimate of effects of the intervention for the various comparisons and outcomes identified in the protocol
• Give as much detail as possible on any side effects of the intervention
• Discuss the implications of the research and results
• State conclusions of the review for clinicians and researchers.
