Many sources document problems that jeopardize the trustworthiness of systematic reviews. This is a major concern given their potential to influence patient care and impact people's lives. Responsibility for producing trustworthy conclusions on the evidence in systematic reviews is borne primarily by authors who need the necessary training and resources to correctly report on the current knowledge base. Peer reviewers and editors are also accountable; they must ensure that systematic reviews are accurate by demonstrating proper methods. To support all these stakeholders, we attempt to distill the sprawling guidance that is currently available in our recent co-publication about best tools and practices for systematic reviews. We specifically address how to meet methodological conduct standards applicable to key components of systematic reviews. In this complementary invited review, we place these standards in the context of good scholarship principles for systematic review development. Our intention is to reach a broad audience and potentially improve the trustworthiness of evidence syntheses published in the developmental medicine literature and beyond.
许多来源都记录了一些问题，这些问题危及系统评价的可信度。鉴于系统评价有可能影响患者护理并影响人们的生活，这是一个主要关注点。对系统评价中证据进行可信结论的主要责任在于作者，他们需要必要的培训和资源来正确报告当前的知识库。同行评审员和编辑也有责任；他们必须通过展示适当的方法来确保系统评价的准确性。为了支持所有这些利益相关者，我们试图从我们最近关于系统评价最佳工具和实践的联合出版物中提取当前可用的广泛指导。我们特别针对如何满足适用于系统评价关键组成部分的方法学行为标准进行了讨论。在本补充邀请评论中，我们将这些标准置于系统评价开发的良好学术原则的背景下。我们的目的是覆盖更广泛的受众，并有可能提高发育医学文献及其他文献中发表的证据综合的可信度。
