Four starting points. They are templates, not standards: the package knows the shape a protocol has, not what your criteria should be, and every field of a built-in is meant to be edited before it is used.

Usage

gr_protocols(name = NULL)

Arguments

name

A protocol name, or omit to list them all.

Value

With name, a gr_protocol(). Without, a data frame of name, question and description.

Details

bibliography

Who wrote it, what it is called, where it appeared. No screening (everything is included), so it is the cheapest way to turn a folder into a reference list you can check.

evidence_table

One row per study: design, population, comparison, outcome, effect. No synthesis outline; the table is the output.

claims

The same ground as evidence_table, coded so studies can be compared mechanically rather than only read: design and finding are enums, each paired with the paper's own wording or figures so the coding can be checked. finding is relative to your question, so this template means nothing until you replace it.

systematic_review

Criteria, a schema and a write-up outline, in the shape a report following a standard like PRISMA expects. Filling it in is your work, not the package's.

Examples

gr_protocols()
#>                name                                                 question
#> 1      bibliography       What is each of these documents, and who wrote it?
#> 2            claims REPLACE THIS with your review question, in one sentence.
#> 3    evidence_table   What did each study do, to whom, and what did it find?
#> 4 systematic_review REPLACE THIS with your review question, in one sentence.
#>                                                                                                           description
#> 1                                                        Turn a folder into a checkable reference list. No screening.
#> 2 Coded where studies must be compared, verbatim where they must be quoted. The input a claims-level synthesis needs.
#> 3                                                   One row per study. The table is the output; there is no write-up.
#> 4                                            A template in the shape a PRISMA-style report expects. Edit every field.
