However, none of them utilize interventions with the most support in the research literature.
Associate professor Tamara Kalandadze participates in an international collaborative project aiming to develop guidelines for conducting non-interventional systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The project is entitled “Non-Interventional, Reproducible, and Open (NIRO) Systematic Review Guidelines”.
