Introduction

Bullet point background information that establishes the importance of the topic.

Identify rationale for your review and gaps in the literature that your review will fill.

List the focused clinical questions to be addressed in your review as individual bullet points (if more than one)

Methods

Describe the study screening and selection criteria (inclusion/exclusion criteria for articles).

Describe which outcome measures, time points, interventions, and comparison groups were addressed by your study.

Describe the search strategy (databases searched, exact search strings used).

Describe the data extraction strategy (how you retrieved the relevant data from the articles, who retrieved them, and how disagreements between the extractors were resolved).

Describe the method for evaluating the quality of evidence from each article.

Results

Summarize the main (important) results for each table and figure

Brief summary of Table 1 Brief summary of Table 2 Brief summary of Table 3 (this table could include

each article’s quality rating) Brief summary of Table 4

Limitations and Strengths

Briefly state your study’s limitations. Common limitations are few high quality studies, publication bias, and possibility of excluding relevant articles based on search strategy.

Briefly state your study’s strengths. Common strengths are investigating a new topic and synthesizing results from many relevant populations.

Conclusions

Bullet point your conclusions here. These can include suggestions for future

research and recommendations for clinical care.
