Resumo
Background: Systematic reviews (SRs) have become a popular approach for evidence-based practice, being considered a lens through which evidence is viewed and applied. However, several published studies have been identified as scoping reviews rather than SRs. This methodological error can negatively impact clinical decision-making or new research conceptualization.
Aim: This letter focuses on the increasing number of SRs in oral pathology and medicine, highlighting the most frequent methodological mistakes.
Results: We providing general guidance to help researchers conceptualize better their SRs and for the critical evaluation of SRs by scientific journal reviewers.
Conclusion: Clinicians, pathologists, and reviewers, must ensure the quality of the published information.
