systematic-review-prisma

Plan, run and report systematic reviews and meta-analyses to PRISMA 2020 standards. Use when writing a review protocol (PROSPERO/OSF), building reproducible database search strings (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science), deduplicating exports, organizing title/abstract and full-text screening, assessing risk of bias, drawing the PRISMA flow diagram, or completing the PRISMA 2020 checklist. Includes a dedup tool and a checked PRISMA diagram generator.

# Systematic Reviews with PRISMA 2020

A systematic review is judged on transparency and reproducibility: another team
should be able to rerun your searches and reach the same included set. Work in
the phases below and keep an audit trail (dates, counts, decisions) as you go.
Retrofitting a trail at the end is how reviews fail peer review.

## Phase 1: Protocol (before searching)

1. Frame the question with **PICO** (Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome);
   use PECO for exposures, SPIDER for qualitative work, PCC for scoping reviews.
2. Pre-specify eligibility criteria, primary/secondary outcomes, databases, date
   limits, languages, risk-of-bias tool and synthesis method.
3. Register the protocol **before screening starts**: PROSPERO (health, human outcomes)
