Summary
Systematic review protocols enhance transparency and reduce duplication. PRISMA-P 2015 provides a 17-item checklist to improve the quality and completeness of these essential research documents.
Area of Science:
- Medical research methodology
- Evidence-based practice
Background:
- Systematic review protocols are crucial for planning, transparency, and preventing selective reporting.
- Duplication of reviews and selective reporting are persistent issues in scientific literature.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce PRISMA-P (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols) 2015, a guideline for improving systematic review and meta-analysis protocols.
- To provide a comprehensive explanation and elaboration of the PRISMA-P 2015 checklist items.
Main Methods:
- Development of the PRISMA-P 2015 guideline by an international expert group.
- Creation of a 17-item checklist considered essential for systematic review and meta-analysis protocols.
- Publication of an accompanying explanation and elaboration paper with evidence and examples.
Main Results:
- The PRISMA-P 2015 checklist outlines 17 essential components for systematic review protocols.
- The guideline aims to enhance the transparency, accuracy, completeness, and frequency of documented protocols.
Conclusions:
- PRISMA-P 2015 is a valuable tool for authors and assessors to improve the quality of systematic review protocols.
- Adoption of PRISMA-P 2015 is encouraged to ensure robust and reproducible systematic reviews.

544
In the design of a supported timber beam subjected to a distributed load, both the beam's physical dimensions and the timber's characteristics, such as its grade and species, are critical. These factors determine the allowable stress values, which are crucial for calculating the necessary beam depth to ensure structural integrity and safety.
The design begins with analyzing the beam as a free body to identify moments and force balances, thereby determining support reactions. Next, the...

Elaborative rehearsal is a crucial cognitive strategy that strengthens information encoding in long-term memory by making meaningful connections between new data and pre-existing knowledge. This approach contrasts with maintenance rehearsal, which involves simple repetition without delving into the significance of the information. While maintenance rehearsal might temporarily keep information active in short-term memory, it is less effective for long-term retention.

Gestalt principles provide a framework for understanding how humans perceive objects as unified wholes within their context. These principles are essential in explaining the cognitive processes that make sense of complex visual stimuli by organizing them into coherent groups. One fundamental principle is proximity, which posits that objects located close to each other are perceived as a collective group. For instance, when dots are positioned near one another, the visual system interprets them...

The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

The human nervous system handles vast amounts of information by translating sensory stimuli into neural impulses, which the brain processes, creating thoughts expressed through language or stored as memories. The brain also synthesizes information from emotions and memories, which significantly influence thoughts and behaviors. This intricate process creates a comprehensive mental picture.
