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
