This project presents a framework that enhances evidence synthesis through dynamic critical appraisal, indicating its broad applicability across various domains.
This project presents the Systematic Engine, a novel conceptual model that reframes critical appraisal from a procedural checkpoint into the central, dynamic process that powers transparent evidence synthesis. The framework comprises four integrated functions: (1) Deconstruction & Profiling, (2) Stratification & Weighting, (3) Certainty Calibration via GRADE, and (4) Interpretive Guarding. This registration includes the complete methodological framework, implementation guidelines, and resources for applying the Systematic Engine in systematic reviews across clinical, preclinical, and social science domains.
