What is a systematic review?
Answer
A systematic review is a transparent, reproducible research methodology that aims to identify all available information on a focused topic and synthesize it to come to an overall conclusion. Systematic reviews require a team of researchers (one person cannot complete a review on their own) and significant time (often a year or more) to complete. In evidence-based medicine, systematic reviews are placed at the top of the evidence pyramid.
