Identification 1a Identify the report as a protocol of a systematic review

Update 1b If the protocol is for an update of a previous systematic review, identify as such

tration 2 If registered, provide the name of the registry (such as PROSPERO) and registration number

Authors:

Contact 3a Provide name, institutional affiliation, e-mail address of all protocol authors; provide physical mailing address of

corresponding author

Contributions 3b Describe contributions of protocol authors and identify the guarantor of the review

Amendments 4 If the protocol represents an amendment of a previously completed or published protocol, identify as such and list changes;

otherwise, state plan for documenting important protocol amendments

Support:

Sources 5a Indicate sources of financial or other support for the review

Sponsor 5b Provide name for the review funder and/or sponsor

Role of sponsor or funder 5c Describe roles of funder(s), sponsor(s), and/or institution(s), if any, in developing the protocol

INTRODUCTION

Rationale 6 Describe the rationale for the review in the context of what is already known

Objectives 7 Provide an explicit statement of the question(s) the review will address with reference to participants, interventions,

comparators, and outcomes (PICO)

METHODS

Eligibility criteria 8 Specify the study characteristics (such as PICO, study design, setting, time frame) and report characteristics (such as years

considered, language, publication status) to be used as criteria for eligibility for the review

Information sources 9 Describe all intended information sources (such as electronic databases, contact with study authors, trial registers or other

grey literature sources) with planned dates of coverage

Search strategy 10 Present draft of search strategy to be used for at least one electronic database, including planned limits, such that it could be

repeated

Study records:

Data management 11a Describe the mechanism(s) that will be used to manage records and data throughout the review

Selection process 11b State the process that will be used for selecting studies (such as two independent reviewers) through each phase of the

review (that is, screening, eligibility and inclusion in meta-analysis)

Data collection process 11c Describe planned method of extracting data from reports (such as piloting forms, done independently, in duplicate), any

processes for obtaining and confirming data from investigators

Data items 12 List and define all variables for which data will be sought (such as PICO items, funding sources), any pre-planned data

assumptions and simplifications

Outcomes and prioritization 13 List and define all outcomes for which data will be sought, including prioritization of main and additional outcomes, with

rationale

Risk of bias in individual studies 14 Describe anticipated methods for assessing risk of bias of individual studies, including whether this will be done at the

outcome or study level, or both; state how this information will be used in data synthesis

Data synthesis 15a Describe criteria under which study data will be quantitatively synthesised

15b If data are appropriate for quantitative synthesis, describe planned summary measures, methods of handling data and

methods of combining data from studies, including any planned exploration of consistency (such as I2

, Kendall’s τ)

15c Describe any proposed additional analyses (such as sensitivity or subgroup analyses, meta-regression)

15d If quantitative synthesis is not appropriate, describe the type of summary planned

Meta-bias(es) 16 Specify any planned assessment of meta-bias(es) (such as publication bias across studies, selective reporting within studies)

Confidence in cumulative evidence 17 Describe how the strength of the body of evidence will be assessed (such as GRADE)

General House Style for Assignments

 

 

Format

It is strongly recommended that you use a Disability Discrimination Act: part 4 (DDA 2001) compliant font such as Arial, size 12, left justified and without underlining.   Please leave a 1.5 inch/4 cm left hand margin for marking. It is suggested that the other margins should be 2.5 cm wide.  Line spacing should be set to 1.5 and used throughout except for indented quotes, which should be single spaced.  All pages must be numbered.All submissions must be in Microsoft Word, Adobe PDF or Rich Text Format.

 

Title Page

Please note that your assessment will normally be marked by two independent assessors and to ensure anonymity you must not put your name anywhere on your work, including the front cover.

Your title page should clearly indicate:

•      Your University of Exeter student ID number (which can be found on your student ID card).

•      The module code and title.

•      The assignment title.

•      The submission deadline.

•      Your word count.

It is also recommended that you put your student ID number on each page of the assignment as a header or footer.

 

 

Grammar

Please write in the first or third person past tense using UK English spellings. Try to avoid very long sentences.  Use abbreviations minimally because they are hard to read and often the same abbreviation means different things in different specialties and contexts.  All abbreviations should be defined in full the first time they are used.

 

Punctuation

Only use hyphens for words with non-, -like, -type, and for adjectival phrases that include a preposition (one-off event, run-in trial).  Please use double, not single, quotations marks for reported speech or for a verbatim quote from a source.  Full stops and commas go inside quotation marks. Use capitals only for names and proper nouns.

 

Referencing

Full bibliographical references must be given for all works cited in the text. The reference list should be included before any appendices.

The published source of any factual information, opinions or direct quotations used should always be cited.  References in the body of your text should relate to a complete list at the end.  The referencing style should conform to that requested for each assessment.  This will usually be Harvard or Vancouver referencing system,or when no particular preference is specified when the assignment is set, students are free to choose whether to present references in Harvard or Vancouver styling.

For guidance on all the referencing styles currently in use at the University, including examples and where to get further help

 

 you can follow links to Referencing Styles then Harvard or Vancouver to download detailed guidance and examples of the different styles.

Tables & figures

If you use charts, tables or diagrams within the assignment they must be clearly titled, referenced and linked to their accompanying text. All tables and figuresshould be numbered in order of use by type, and should be accompanied by an appropriate legend including the reference citation if appropriate. All figures and tables should be referred to in the main body of text.Figure legends should accurately describe the figure.  Please note that legends and any words contained in figures or tables are not included in the final word count.

Technical terms

Numbers under 10 are spelt out, except for measurements with a unit (8 mmol/l) or age (6 weeks old), or when in a list with other numbers (14 dogs, 12 cats, and 9 gerbils).  A gap should be inserted between all figures and units.
