What is the gold standard review?

• Scoping

• Narrative

• Literature

• Systematic

What is the primary goal of a meta-analysis in the context of scientific research?

• To conduct original experiments and gather new data.

• To synthesize and statistically analyze the results of multiple existing studies.

• To develop a new theoretical framework for a research area.

• To perform in-depth qualitative analysis of individual studies.

which of the following is NOT the aim of scoping review?

• Examine extent, nature, and range of research activity

• Determine value of undertaking a full systematic review

• Identify research gaps in the existing literature

• to evaluate the effectiveness of certain treatment

Which of the following is NOT true about narrative/literature review?

• A flexible & eclectic approach

• Narrative summaries of the evidence

• Rigorous & reproducible

• No strict methodological guidelines

Why is a protocol essential when conducting a systematic literature review?

• To summarize the findings of various studies.

• To present personal opinions and biases.

• To establish a step-by-step plan for the review process.

• To compare experimental and observational studies.

What is the purpose of a well-defined search strategy in a systematic literature review?

• To identify relevant studies and minimize bias in study selection.

• To exclude studies that don't align with the researcher's personal bias.

• To ensure that only experimental studies are included in the review.

• To summarize the results of the included studies

What is the primary objective of data synthesis in a systematic literature review?

• To emphasize the limitations of individual studies.

• To combine and analyze results from multiple studies in a meaningful way.

• To present the findings of each study separately.

• To promote the researcher's personal opinions and perspectives,

What is the purpose of using a reporting guideline in a systematic literature review?

• To limit the scope of the review to a specific geographic region.

• To ensure that only recent studies are included in the review

• To exclude studies with conflicting or contradictory results.

• To provide a standardized framework for transparent and complete reporting.

Which of the following is NOT the step in the process of systematic literature review as described by Mengist et. al., (2020)?

• Protocol

• Appraisal

• Synthesis

• Studies selection

When selecting keywords for a systematic search in a systematic literature review, what is the main goal?

• To use technical jargon that is familiar to researchers in the field.

• To include as many keywords as possible to ensure broad search results.

• To accurately capture the relevant concepts and themes of the research question.

• To prioritize keywords that are unique to a single study to avoid duplication.
