Differences between protocol and review

It was necessary to change the way of assessing methodological quality of included studies as the protocol was published before RevMan5 and the new handbook, table of bias had been released.

PICOs

Population
Intervention
Comparison
Outcome

The PICO model is widely used and taught in evidence-based health care as a strategy for formulating questions and search strategies and for characterizing clinical studies or meta-analyses. PICO stands for four different potential components of a clinical question: Patient, Population or Problem; Intervention; Comparison; Outcome.
