Systematic Review Protocol (PRISMA)

This skill provides a structured framework for conducting a systematic review that meets the highest academic standards.

1. Protocol Development (PROSPERO style)

A rigorous review starts with a pre-registered protocol defining:

  • PICO(S): Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes, Study Design.
  • Inclusion/Exclusion: Clear criteria to minimize bias.

2. Search Strategy Optimization

  • Boolean Logic: Use complex nested queries.
  • Academic Filters: site:arxiv.org, site:nature.com, PubMed IDs, etc.
  • Snowballing: Backward and forward citation tracing.

3. Screening Process

  • Title/Abstract Screening: High-level relevance check.
  • Full-Text Review: Detailed assessment against inclusion criteria.
  • Conflict Resolution: How to handle disagreements (e.g., third-party reviewer).

4. Data Extraction & Quality Assessment

  • Extraction Tables: Author, Year, Sample, Method, Key Results.
  • Risk of Bias (RoB): Use tools like Cochrane RoB or Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.

5. Synthesis & Reporting (PRISMA)

  • Flow Diagram: Transparently showing source selection.
  • Thematic Synthesis: Organizing findings into actionable themes.
