THE PRISMA 2020 STATEMENT: AN INSTRUMENT FOR THE APPROPRIATE REPORTING OF SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS WITH ANNOTATED EXAMPLES
Keywords:
Methods, Research, Meta-analysis, ChecklistAbstract
A systematic review (SR) is a study design that uses pre-planned methods and a collection of primary studies as its units of analysis. More specifically, RS is scientific investigation that focuses on a specific research question using planned and clear methods to identify, select, evaluate, and summarize the findings of similar but individual studies. When publishing results from SR studies in scientific articles, authors need to make sure that this is a clear presentation of what was done, providing readers with the information necessary to enable a critical assessment of the research. This is the exact purpose of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Therefore, this study aims to present, in detail, the PRISMA 2020 declaration, its seven sections and 27 items, presenting commented examples. The PRISMA statement was prepared by a group of experts, published in 2009 (PRISMA 2009), updated in 2020 (PRISMA 2020), and serves as support for SR authors in order to make them skilled in producing an article report, appropriately formulated, and presented. The PRISMA 2020 statement consists of a checklist of 27 items, which authors need to follow before submitting the SR article. Although there are no guarantees, authors who comply with the PRISMA 2020 declaration have a better chance of successfully publishing an SR in scientific journals.
