Dear List
I am searching for an example of a systematic review and a narrative type
review on the same topic (hopefully with different results) to demonstrate
to students or alternatively for them to discover the differences between
the 2 types of review. Similarly, for a systematic review and an RCT on
the same topic with different results where students need to use their
skills to determine what has caused the difference. (Bandolier gives the
example of a sys review using a spermicide to prevent STD infection but the
difference between the RCT and sys review is very very obvious - in 1 of
the studies all of the participants use condoms as well - that is a bit too
obvious!).
I would be most grateful if anyone has any refs that would be useful.
Thanks alot in anticipation.
