Abstract

This work aims to outline a basic guide on the various protocols for systematic reviews and meta-analyses; for this purpose, a methodology was employed that included the formulation of search strings, the selection of relevant studies, and their analysis to synthesize information. Exhaustive searches were conducted in academic databases, and relevant studies were selected based on predefined criteria. As for the results, several protocols for conducting systematic reviews and meta-analyses were identified, such as COCHRANE, MOOSE, MARS, PRISMA, JBI, and REGEMA, as well as other protocols for assessing the quality of evidence and/or studies like QUOROM, GRADE, and AMSTAR. Each protocol focuses on different areas of application, providing a detailed guide for conducting systematic reviews and meta-analyses, according to the specificity of the field of study and the type of intervention being evaluated. In conclusion, the choice of the appropriate protocol could depend on the type of study and the research area; however, PRISMA is one of the most widely used protocols, and it has some extensions that provide a useful guide for researchers who wish to conduct systematic reviews and meta-analyses in different research areas to make adaptations.
