Mapping the evidence: why?
BIG QUESTION MAP OF THE EVIDENCE
Interventions in place, but no
evidence
Consider stopping the intervention
Consider starting the intervention
Pilot and research
No intervention, good evidence
No intervention, no research
Stop doing research on this, summarise
it
Saturation – don’t need more evidence
Slide source: Africa Evidence Centre 2016
Main steps in a systematic review1. Publish title registration and then full protocol, often including pilot
searches2. Full searches3. Screening4. Coding and critical appraisal5. Data extraction of findings6. Synthesis7. Writing up full review

1. Publish title registration and then full protocol, often including pilot searches Develop the scope (can include published protocol)
2. Full searches3. Screening 4. Coding and critical appraisal (and categorisation for map)5. Data extraction of findings6. Synthesis7. Writing up full review Visualisation (including user-friendly
summaries)
