The Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health recently published a review article by Aran et al. (2023) containing important findings about patterns of suicidality in Newcomers. Although the review provided a valuable contribution to the literature, there was an issue with misclassification of the type of review and analysis the authors conducted. In this letter, I make the distinction between the relevant types of review and analyses and emphasize the importance of correctly identifying systematic reviews and meta-analyses to help provide clarity in the ongoing debate about the value of systematic reviews and meta-analyses. I recommend Aran et al. (2023) re-evaluate the classification and presentation of their important research to avoid confusion and mitigate potential adverse impacts on the scientific community.
《移民与少数族裔健康杂志》最近发表了一篇由阿拉恩等人（2023年）撰写的综述文章，其中包含了关于新移民自杀倾向模式的重要发现。尽管该综述为文献做出了有价值的贡献，但作者进行的综述和分析类型存在错误分类的问题。在这封信中，我区分了相关的综述和分析类型，并强调正确识别系统评价和荟萃分析的重要性，以帮助在关于系统评价和荟萃分析价值的持续辩论中提供清晰的认识。我建议阿拉恩等人（2023年）重新评估他们重要研究的分类和呈现方式，以避免混淆并减轻对科学界可能产生的不利影响。
