Review Articles
Review articles summarize and synthesize existing research on a specific topic, offering a comprehensive overview of current knowledge, trends, and debates. They consolidate findings from multiple studies, providing insights into the state of research, identifying gaps, and suggesting future directions for investigation in the field.
Narrative Review Article
Narrative review articles provide a qualitative summary of literature on a topic, focusing on interpretation and analysis rather than systematic data synthesis. They offer historical context, discuss key findings, and often include the author's perspective or theoretical framework. Unlike systematic reviews, narrative reviews may be less structured and more subjective, aiming to provide a broad understanding of the subject by weaving together diverse sources and perspectives to create a cohesive narrative.

Systematic Review/Scoping Review
Systematic review articles rigorously analyze existing literature on a specific research question using predefined methods to minimize bias. They systematically search, appraise, and synthesize relevant studies, often quantitatively pooling data to assess the overall strength of evidence. Systematic reviews aim to provide a comprehensive and unbiased summary of existing research findings, identify patterns or inconsistencies across studies, and offer evidence-based conclusions that inform practice, policy, or further research in the field. They are valued for their methodological rigor and ability to synthesize complex bodies of evidence. Systematic reviews are done strictly following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines.

Systematic review and meta-analysis
Systematic reviews rigorously synthesize and analyze existing research on a specific topic using predefined methods to minimize bias, adhering closely to PRISMA guidelines. They aim to provide a comprehensive summary of relevant studies, assessing their quality and synthesizing findings to answer a specific research question. Meta-analysis, a statistical technique used within systematic reviews, quantitatively combines data from multiple studies to calculate a pooled effect size or outcome measure. This technique employs forest plots to visually represent study results and assess heterogeneity across studies, ensuring a robust and precise synthesis of evidence to inform clinical practice, policy decisions, or further research agendas.
