Systematic review and meta-analysis support for doctors in India

The highest level of evidence, and you do not need a single patient to produce it. Bring a clinical question. We help you run the search, screening, extraction, risk-of-bias assessment and pooling, and develop a PRISMA-compliant manuscript under your name.

Discuss your question on WhatsApp
You stay the author. You choose the question, set the clinical direction and review every draft. The manuscript, the data extraction and the conclusions are yours.

Why doctors choose evidence synthesis

The usual reason faculty never start a paper is that they have no dataset and no time to recruit patients. A systematic review needs neither.

No patient recruitment

The raw material is published literature, so there is nothing to collect and no follow-up to wait for.

Usually no ethics approval

Published, de-identified data rarely needs full committee review. Check your institution's waiver policy.

Highest level of evidence

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses sit at the top of the evidence hierarchy and are widely cited.

Grows from your practice

The best questions come from a clinical decision you make every week and still argue about.

Systematic review or meta-analysis?

Every meta-analysis sits inside a systematic review. Whether you can pool depends on how similar the included studies are.

Systematic reviewMeta-analysis
What it doesFinds, appraises and summarises every eligible studyAlso pools the results statistically into one estimate
NeedsA focused question and a pre-specified methodEnough comparable studies reporting the same outcome
Main outputsPRISMA flow diagram, study tables, risk-of-bias summary, narrative synthesisAll of that, plus forest plots, heterogeneity (I²) and, where there are enough studies, funnel plots
Reporting standardPRISMA 2020

How it works

Frame the question

On a free consultation call we turn your clinical idea into a PICO question and check that enough studies exist to answer it.

Protocol and registration

A written protocol with eligibility criteria and outcomes, and PROSPERO or INPLASY registration if you want it.

Search, screen, extract

A documented, reproducible search, two-stage screening recorded in a PRISMA flow diagram, and structured data extraction.

Appraise and pool

Risk-of-bias assessment with a standard tool such as RoB 2 or Newcastle-Ottawa, then pooling and forest plots where the studies allow it.

Manuscript and journal

A PRISMA 2020 compliant manuscript, and a shortlist of indexed journals with indexing verified before you submit.

Pricing

The range depends on how many studies your question returns and how complex the pooling is. We quote a fixed price after the consultation, before you pay anything.

What you actually get

Not a promise, a deliverables list. Every item below is what lands in your inbox, and every one of them is checkable by you or by a reviewer.

A registered protocol

Written eligibility criteria and outcomes, with PROSPERO or INPLASY registration if you want it, dated before screening starts.

A reproducible search

The full search string for every database, with dates and hit counts, so anyone can run it again and get your numbers.

PRISMA 2020 flow diagram

Two-stage screening recorded properly, with reasons for every full-text exclusion.

Risk of bias and pooling

RoB 2 or Newcastle-Ottawa as appropriate, forest plots, heterogeneity, and funnel plots where there are enough studies to justify one.

What we need from you

This is a collaboration, and our terms make that binding rather than aspirational. Work does not proceed past a checkpoint without your written approval.

  • The clinical question you keep arguing about with colleagues
  • An hour to agree the PICO and the eligibility criteria
  • Your judgement at screening disagreements, which is a decision we will not make for you

Authorship, stated plainly

You are the author. You own every word. We do not ghost-write papers to be submitted as though we were not involved, and we do not accept work where you would not be able to defend the method yourself.

Our terms set out mandatory collaboration checkpoints and a client declaration you sign before we start. That is there to protect your position if anyone ever asks how the paper was produced.

Three things we check before you submit

  1. Indexing. That the target journal sits in a database the NMC actually names, verified in the database itself, not taken from the journal's own website. Our free checker does the first pass and you can run it yourself.
  2. Article type. That the paper you are writing is a type that counts for promotion. A case report in a perfect journal still does not count.
  3. Predatory signals. Solicitation history, fee disclosure timing, editorial board verifiability and title mimicry, before a rupee goes to any publisher.

Questions doctors ask us

Do I need patient data for a systematic review?

No. A systematic review or meta-analysis analyses studies that are already published, so you need a focused clinical question, not a dataset of your own patients.

Does a systematic review need ethics committee approval?

Usually not, because it uses published, de-identified data. Some institutions still ask for a waiver letter, so check your own institution's policy before you start.

Should I register on PROSPERO?

Registration is strongly recommended and many journals expect it. We can prepare and submit a PROSPERO registration for ₹4,999, or an INPLASY registration, which is faster and gives a DOI, for ₹5,999 plus the INPLASY fee of USD 40.

What is the difference between a systematic review and a meta-analysis?

A systematic review finds, appraises and summarises every eligible study on a question using a pre-specified method. A meta-analysis goes one step further and statistically pools the results into a single estimate, usually shown as a forest plot.

Who is the author?

You are. You choose the question, give the clinical direction and review every draft, and the manuscript is submitted under your name.

Tell us the question you keep arguing about

Send us the clinical question on WhatsApp. We will check whether the literature can answer it and quote a fixed price before you commit.
