review.9.Review and finalize the list of included articles.As the number of records excluded for each reason increases,it's  \nessential to note the specific exclusion criteria.This includes factors like incorrect settings,patient populations,interventions,dosages,and more.When calculating exclusions,remember to only count each article once,even if it meets multiple criteria.To complete your PRISMA flow diagram,subtract the number of excluded articles(Step 9)from  \nthe total number of reviewed full-texts(Step 8).Record this figure in the \"Studies included\"box,combining results with grey literature search data as needed.You have now finished creating your PRISMA flow diagram,unless you're conducting searches in non-database sources or updating a previous search.If so,complete those sections as well.  \nSystematic reviews typically follow the IMRaD format:Introduction,Methods,Results,and Discussion.Your manuscript should also include a title and abstract summarizing your research.Youcan learn more about scientific writing through library guides linked below.The structure of systematic reviews mirrors that of original research articles,with  \nan added focus on reporting search strategies instead of participant details or sampling methods.Bold headings in the PRISMA checklist outline sections for your manuscript:Title -Describe your manuscript and indicate whether it's a systematic review,meta-analysis,or both.Abstract-Structure your abstract according to the following components  \n(as applicable):background,objectives,data sources,study eligibility criteria,participants,interventions,quality assessment and synthesis methods,results,limitations,conclusions,implications of key findings,and systematic review registration number.Introduction-Explain the rationale for the review and provide a statement addressing the  \nquestions being explored.Methods -Include details on protocol,eligibility criteria,databases searched,full search strategy(often reported in appendix),and study selection process.Describe data extraction and analysis methods.A librarian may be best suited to write this section if they're part of your research team.Results -Report screened article  \nnumbers at each stage using a PRISMA diagram.Provide information on included study characteristics,risk of bias within studies,and results across studies.Discussion-Summarize main findings,including the strength of evidence and limitations of the review.Offer a general interpretation of the results and implications for future research.Funding  \n-Describe any sources of funding for your systematic review.Appendix-Include entire search strategies for at least one database in the appendix(include all searched databases for transparency).Refer to the PRISMA checklist for more information.Consider publishing a Plain Language Summary(PLS)with your systematic review,similar to an  \nabstract,providing an accessible summary of your findings.Tips for writing a Plain Language Summary:-Use clear headings such as \"why we did this s","cbCaiol2O5IyH5FG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiol2O5IyH5FG","pdf",85031,7,"English","# PRISMA flow
