Systematic Review Methodology in Evidence-Based Urology
Quick fact
A systematic review does not automatically produce one high-confidence answer. It reduces avoidable bias through a predefined question, comprehensive search, duplicate study selection, risk-of-bias assessment and transparent synthesis; meta-analysis is optional.
Why this is interesting
Two trials of the same urology treatment can reach different conclusions. A systematic review can explain the disagreement, but only if its own decisions are transparent and rigorous.
