Systematic review studies are designed to answer a research question based on an unbiased evaluation of all research studies related to that question. Given the key role of review studies, including systematic review and meta-analysis, as the highest level of evidence in clinical decision-making processes and even evidence-based policymaking, it is necessary to define and implement the processes that guarantee the studies in the best quality.
