Abstract

Objective: : Systematic reviews (SRs) are an increasingly important format in the scientific literature. Commentaries on improvements to the SR format have focused on methodological quality, but a greater concern is a frequent lack of critical analysis. A structured critical analysis (SCA) was described as a solution to this deficiency.

Methods: : Recommendations and conclusions of a recent SR were analyzed with a SCA to address common problems previously reported with the SR format.

Results: : Errors in the component studies and their interpretation by the SR that led to erroneous recommendations were presented. The 5-part SCA provided comprehensive analysis that corrected the SR, which had accepted the component study conclusions verbatim.

Conclusion: : The SCA is a logical approach to provide critical thinking in SRs to ensure appropriate conclusions. This is especially important, as many SRs report contradictory evidence. Also, the reader can use the SCA format to better understand existing literature.

系统综述的结构化批判分析更正。

目标：：系统综述（SR）是科学文献中一种日益重要的形式。关于改进系统综述格式的评论主要集中在方法论质量上，但更令人担忧的是经常缺乏批判性分析。结构化批判性分析（SCA）被认为是解决这一不足的方法：方法：采用 SCA 分析了最近一份 SR 的建议和结论，以解决之前报告的 SR 格式中的常见问题：结果：介绍了导致错误建议的成分研究中的错误以及工作人员代表对这些错误的解释。由 5 个部分组成的 SCA 提供了全面的分析，纠正了逐字接受成分研究结论的 SR：SCA 是一种逻辑方法，可为员工代表提供批判性思维，以确保得出适当的结论。这一点尤为重要，因为许多工作人员代表报告的证据相互矛盾。此外，读者还可以使用 SCA 格式更好地理解现有文献。

期刊介绍： CRANIO: The Journal of Craniomandibular & Sleep Practice is the oldest and largest journal in the world devoted to temporomandibular disorders, and now also includes articles on all aspects of sleep medicine. The Journal is multidisciplinary in its scope, with editorial board members from all areas of medicine and dentistry, including general dentists, oral surgeons, orthopaedists, radiologists, chiropractors, professors and behavioural scientists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, osteopathic and ear, nose and throat physicians. CRANIO publishes commendable works from outstanding researchers and clinicians in their respective fields. The multidisciplinary format allows individuals practicing with a TMD emphasis to stay abreast of related disciplines, as each issue presents multiple topics from overlapping areas of interest. CRANIO''s current readership (thousands) is comprised primarily of dentists; however, many physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopathic physicians and other related specialists subscribe and contribute to the Journal.
