Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Appraise a systematic review in terms of its applicability and methodology
- Read a forest plot to gain a statistical summary of several trials
- Assess how this information will help you in future consultations by applying a paper in practice
It is worth knowing that statistical combination of trials (meta-analysis) may or may not be used to analyse and summarise the results of the included studies. The systematic part is in finding and selecting the research.
