About systmatic review
Summary of Introduction and method
Set the context of the Systematic Review by providing a very brief account of the background and the method as a reminder to the reader.
Results
Should include how many papers were identified by the search strategy and how you decided which to include in the review. Explain how/why you selected these papers (for example, selecting the 5 most recent or those with largest sample sizes). Details of papers included in the review should be provided in a table as an appendix and therefore excluded from the word limit (for an example see Table 1 in Michie, S. and Williams, S. (2003) Reducing work related psychological ill health and sickness absence; a systematic literature review. Occup. Environ. Med. 60:3-9 (pdf provided on Succeed). These papers should then be reviewed and critically evaluated using the Critical Appraisal Tool (CAT) provided. This gives each paper a quality rating score. ( for the critical appraisal you can see ‘ Barriers to voluntary participation in sport for children: systematic review’
