This session looks at answering a question posed by a patient about a treatment. The session will cover a simple method for critically appraising a systematic review – a summary of several trials. This session was reviewed by Suchita Shah and last updated in February 2015.
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.
Before commencing this session you should:
- Complete session - Critical Appraisal - Therapy RCT
