  1. Presentation of Findings Interactive Quiz Prepared for: The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Training Modules for Systematic Reviews Methods Guide www.ahrq.gov

  2. Studies Supporting Conclusions At the end of a systematic review, a meta-analysis is always done to synthesize results. • True • False

  3. Evidence Table When creating an evidence table, the reviewer combines information across multiple studies. • True • False

  4. Summary Table Summary tables include general information but no results about studies. • True • False

  5. Evidence Map An evidence map provides a graphical representation of a meta-analysis. • True • False

  6. Summary • Data in systematic reviews are synthesized using tables (nonquantitative synthesis) instead of, or in addition to, a meta-analysis to capture underlying similarities that support conclusions. • An evidence table collates and reports information from a single study.  • A summary table combines information across multiple studies. • Proper table construction and thorough data abstraction are crucial if the results of a review are to be accurately conveyed. • Evidence maps provide a graphical representation of available studies and help readers compare report outcomes.
