Service
Systematic Review & Meta-analysis Support
Question development, search strategy, PRISMA workflow, screening, data extraction, risk-of-bias assessment, meta-analysis and forest plots.
The challenge
Why this matters
Systematic reviews look simple but are methodologically demanding. Reproducible searches, dual screening, transparent risk-of-bias assessment and appropriate pooling all need to be planned and documented. We help your team follow a recognised process and report it transparently.
What we help with
- Research question development (PICO) and protocol planning
- Search strategy guidance across databases
- PRISMA 2020 workflow and flow diagram
- Screening methodology and tools (e.g. Rayyan)
- Data extraction framework
- Risk-of-bias assessment guidance (e.g. RoB 2, ROBINS-I, NOS)
- Meta-analysis — fixed / random effects, heterogeneity, subgroup analysis
- Forest and funnel plots
- Manuscript preparation support

FAQs
Questions about systematic reviews
Will my review be PRISMA-compliant?
We guide you through the PRISMA 2020 reporting items and review your manuscript against the checklist. Compliance depends on how the review is conducted and documented by the team, so we cannot certify it automatically.
Can you help with systematic reviews?
Yes — from question development and search strategy through screening, data extraction, risk-of-bias assessment, meta-analysis and PRISMA reporting.
