Abstract
Properly reporting of systematic reviews can improve
evidence‑based medicine, evidence‑based management,
and evidence‑informed policymaking in the health care
system.[1‑3] Various checklists have been developed to
improve the reporting of these studies.[4‑6] One of the most
important guide in this field is Preferred Reporting Items
for Systematic reviews and Meta‑analyses (PRISMA)
statement consisting of seven topic sections and 27 items
designed by the PRISMA Group.[7] Although the use of
this checklist is not mandatory in systematic review and
meta‑analysis reports, researchers should adhere to its
components if used.
