Systematic review: the application of scientific (systematic) strategies to limit bias in the gathering, critical appraisal and synthesis of relevant studies on a specific topic, may or may not include a meta-analysis. Formulate the question or questions: define criteria to include/exclude a study. Select relevant studies: assess the quality of included studies. Extract the data: assess sources of heterogeneity, analyze and present the results. Meta-analysis: a statistical analysis of the results from independent studies, which generally aims to produce a single estimate of a treatment effect.

Participants split into intervention and control groups.
