Abstract

A systematic review is a kind of study of literature that reduces prejudice in the recognition and evaluation of data from original publications by using preestablished procedures. Mathematical computations frequently use data from research that have the capacity to address the subject of the systematic review. Utilizing statistical techniques that can be illustrative or inferential is necessary for meta-analysis in order to summarize data from multiple research on the particular issue of interest. The methods aid in producing knowledge from several investigations in both qualitative and quantitative forms. The purpose of this article is to give a tutorial on the planning and carrying out of systematic reviews and meta-analysis.
