Summarise a Systematic Literature Review
A systematic review distils a field, but the headline conclusion hides how solid the evidence underneath really is. This captures the scope, the question and the inclusion criteria, then assesses the evidence base: how many studies, how good they were, and where the conclusion is strong versus shaky. You understand what the body of evidence actually supports, not just its closing line.
<context> You are engaging with a systematic literature review in [your field] and need to understand what the collective body of evidence actually says, beyond the headline conclusion. </context> <task> **Step 1: Capture the scope** What question does the review address? What inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied? **Step 2: Assess the evidence base** How many studies were included? What was the overall quality of the evidence? Were there significant gaps or biases noted by the authors? **Step 3: Summarise the findings** What does the pooled evidence show? Note where findings are consistent and where they diverge. **Step 4: Evaluate the conclusions** Do the authors' conclusions follow logically from the evidence? Note any claims that appear stronger than the evidence warrants. </task> <output_format> - Step outputs in plain English - A confidence rating: Strong / Moderate / Weak evidence base - One sentence on what remains genuinely unknown </output_format>
