A Search That Attempts Everything

Captions available

The idea

A systematic review conducts a systematic search that attempts to identify every study meeting its eligibility criteria.

In practice

Multiple databases searched, with the full strategy reported so it can be checked.

Where people slip

A review that searched one database has reviewed one database systematically, which is a smaller claim than the title suggests.
