Systematic review; meta-analysis

A systematic review is a critical assessment and evaluation of all research studies that address a particular issue (US Department of Health and Human Services, n.d.). In most cases, researchers use an organized method of locating, assembling, and evaluating a given body of literature on a particular topic using a set of specific criteria (US Department of Health and Human Services, n.d.).

Meta-analysis refers to a method of combining data from multiple research studies that is similar to a systematic review, but which includes a statistical process that combines findings from individual studies (US Department of Health and Human Services, n.d.).
