Abstract

Reviews are becoming more common in the biomedical field, whether it be a narrative type, systematic review, or meta-analysis. In this article, I review and describe the characteristics of each of them, with their advantages and disadvantages. In addition, I discuss main elements to considerer when you read meta-analyzes, including sensitivity analysis, search for heterogeneity and, publication biases.
