Chapter 27, “Systematic Reviews of Research Evidence: Meta-analysis, Metasynthesis, and Mixed
Studies Review”
This chapter focuses on the different types of systematic reviews. The chapter discusses the
advantages of this type of analysis and the steps for conducting a meta-analysis or metasynthesis.

The authors of this article assert that more comparative effectiveness research (CER) is necessary
to accommodate the elevated demand for evidence-based health care practices. The article supplies
a summary of methodological issues relevant to systematic reviews and meta-analyses used in the
process of CER.

The quality of evidence used in EBP can vary considerably. This article highlights the necessity
of critically appraising facility design research articles and using a hierarchical model to rate
the strength of evidence.

To prepare:
Review this week’s Learning Resources, focusing on how researchers find meaning in their data and
generate sound conclusions. Pay particular attention to Table 2 in the article, “Study Design in
Medical Research.”
Revisit the 5 articles that you identified in Part 2 of the Course Project. Select one to consider
for the purpose of this Discussion.
Read sections of the chosen article where the data is presented, analyzed, and interpreted for
meaning. What reasoning process did the researchers use to formulate their conclusions? What
explanation did they give to support their conclusions? Were there any weaknesses in their
analysis or conclusions?
Consider possible alternate conclusions that the researchers could have drawn based on their data.
Examine the findings that the article presents and consider how well they addressed the
researcher’s initial question(s). What additional research could be done to build on these
findings and gain a fuller understanding of the question?
==================================================================================================
==============
Post an APA citation and brief summary of the research article that you selected. Describe the
data and the results of any statistical tests or analyses presented in the article. Explain how
the researchers formulated their conclusion, any weaknesses in their analysis or conclusions, and
offer at least one alternate interpretation of their data. Propose at least one additional
research study that could be done to further investigate this research topic.
