Abstract:

This chapter describes the steps and techniques for performing systematic reviews and meta-analyses. It presents step-by-step procedures, starting from an overview, then moving on to defining research questions, searching research articles in journal article indexing databases, selecting articles based on the research question and inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracting data from selected articles, and finally, analyzing data and reporting results. The research team performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of mobile phone apps to promote weight loss and increase physical activity and this real-world care is used as an example throughout this chapter.
