I have looked at this record and found that it does not meet ‘true positive criteria’ for systematic reviews by Shojania & Bero 2001 that I chose to use in record screening on Zheln.

Namely, it means this record does not mention neither ‘systematic review’ nor ‘meta-analysis’ in its title, nor does it contain a literature search strategy in its abstract.

Therefore, this record is ineligible for a Zheln appraisal.
