Online National Workshop on Systematic Reviews & Meta–Analysis (Oct 28-30, 2024)

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are method of evidence synthesis  that present results by combining and analyzing data from different  studies conducted on similar research topics. These methods are  considered to produce highest quality of research and recently there is an  upsurge in the number of systematic review and meta-analysis being  conducted by various field experts. This method of research is extremely  useful in the era where a huge amount of research is produced each year,  often with conflicting findings. In those instances, systematic review and  meta-analysis can offer scientifically sound and powerful alternatives that  can overcome the difficulties in addressing bias, heterogeneity and quality  of the studies. However, often poorly conducted systematic review and  meta-analysis could yield misleading results. Therefore, various guidelines  have been suggested for conducting systematic reviews and meta-  analyses to help standardize the independent study findings and to  improve their quality.

This workshop will cover all aspects of systematic review and meta-  analysis and will provide participants with hands-on experience with the  software and practical aspect of the subject.
