All evidence, analyzed methodically
The systematic reviews and what about meta-analysis They allow gathering, evaluating, and synthesizing the available scientific evidence on a specific research question. Their proper preparation requires a rigorous methodology, well-defined selection criteria, and a transparent analysis that allows obtaining solid and reproducible conclusions.
In OMEDICS we support professionals, institutions, and research teams throughout the entire process, from formulating the clinical question to interpreting the results and preparing them for publication. Our approach integrates scientific methodology, statistical analysis, and specialized writing to ensure quality y work traceability.
What does the service consist of
The meta-analysis service y systematic reviews it covers all the necessary phases to identify, select, evaluate, and synthesize the available evidence. We can develop the project comprehensively o intervene in specific stages, depending on the team's needs and starting point.
We work in accordance with recognized methodologies y previously established criteria, ensuring consistency between the research question, the search strategy, study selection, quality assessment, and the final interpretation of the results.
Who is it intended for
This service is aimed at professionals y organizations What do you need synthesize the scientific evidence available with a rigorous methodology oriented toward publication, decision-making, or the development of new lines of research.
We work mainly with:
- Doctors and healthcare professionals.
- Hospitals, clinics, and healthcare centers.
- Research groups and units.
- Universities and graduate programs.
- Scientific societies.
- Risk of bias assessment.
- Laboratories and pharmaceutical companies.
- Medical device companies.
- Researchers who wish to publish a review.
- Teams that need to update previous work.
- Institutions that require evidence-based reports.
Benefits and expected results
A systematic review or a meta-analysis It requires much more than compiling posts. It is necessary to follow a structured process, justify each methodological decision, and critically analyze the evidence to avoid inaccurate or unreliable conclusions.
The specialized support allows optimizing the process, reducing errors, and obtaining work that is scientifically sound, transparent, and ready for dissemination.
- Rigorous methodology: Application of clear and reproducible criteria in all project phases.
- Structured bibliographic search: Comprehensive identification of relevant evidence in the main databases.
- Reduction of the risk of bias: Critical evaluation of the quality and limitations of the included studies.
- Specialized statistical analysis: Application of appropriate techniques to integrate and interpret the results.
- Clear and proven results: Synthesis of the evidence with grounded and clinically relevant conclusions.
- Publication orientation Documentation and writing adapted to the standards of scientific journals.
Workflow
The development of a systematic review o a meta-analysis requires precise planning and a coherent methodology at every stage. In OMEDICS We organize the work into a structured process, from the definition of the research question to the final drafting, with clear phases, periodic reviews, and concrete deliverables.
The project duration depends on the volume of available literature, the complexity of the research question, the number of included studies, and the need to perform a meta-analysis.
As a guideline, a systematic review can be carried out within a timeframe of between 3 years and 6 months, although times may vary depending on the Scope of work and the necessary revisions. Before starting, a schedule with clear phases, deadlines, and deliverables is established.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a systematic review and a meta-analysis?
The systematic review identifies, selects, and analyzes in a structured way the available evidence on a specific question. The meta-analysis adds a statistical synthesis of the results of several studies when these are sufficiently comparable.
Is it always possible to perform a meta-analysis?
No. It depends on the quantity, quality, and homogeneity of the studies found. When data cannot be combined in a valid way, a qualitative synthesis of the evidence is performed.
Can you work on a review that has already been started?
Yes. We can join at any stage of the project to review the methodology, complete the search, evaluate the studies, perform the statistical analysis, or prepare the final manuscript.
How long does a systematic review take?
As a guideline, the project can be completed within a timeframe of 3 to 6 months. The duration depends on the volume of publications, the complexity of the topic, the number of studies included, and the revisions required.
Do you also help with publishing the work?
Yes. We can write or review the manuscript, adapt the document to journal guidelines, prepare tables and figures, and support the response process to reviewers.
