Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 6   EBP 0760 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Syntheses Rank Highest

Captions available

The idea

A systematic review of randomized controlled trials compiles what is known from multiple studies addressing the same question, and ranks highest in the intervention hierarchy as the strongest, least-biased method.

In practice

Every trial of an intervention gathered and appraised together.

Where people slip

Highest ranking belongs to the design. A review that was conducted badly is a badly conducted Level I study.
