PRISMA-Compliant Umbrella Review — Overview of Systematic Reviews
A PRISMA-compliant umbrella review is a structured synthesis of existing systematic reviews and meta-analyses on a topic, conducted and reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines — specifically the PRIOR extension developed for umbrella reviews. By operating one level above primary research, it maps the totality of evidence, identifies convergent or contradictory findings across reviews, and quantifies evidence strength at the highest tier of the evidence hierarchy.
