Time Estimate: The time required will depend on the specific review topic. On average, systematic reviews can take several months to complete, with the meta-analysis portion taking additional time for data extraction and analysis.

 

Review Contribution: The research will contribute to developing systematic reviews that aim to inform medical practice and improve patient care. It will be part of a broader effort to enhance evidence-based decision-making in the healthcare field.

 

We encourage those with experience in publishing systematic reviews, especially in Cochrane, to join us in this important work
