Instead of analysing the literature using pre-determined outcomes, key concepts are defined after the synthesis of the findings, allowing for greater exploration of a broad array of outcomes and experiences.
The motivating application area is injury prevention in children where a broad array of outcomes and intervention packages have been evaluated with the aim of increasing safety practices around the home (to ultimately reduce household injuries).
After commenting on some of the findings and limitations of past work, we offer suggestions for enhancing the systematic evaluation of intervention programs that include careful selection of comparison groups, a broad array of STEM outcome measures, assessment of potentially unintended consequences, and meta-analyses.
These involvements span a broad array of biological outcomes and activities, and cells are faced with the problem of how to compartmentalize and organize these various signaling events into a coherent scheme.
Concato and colleagues [ 10] evaluated 99 reports of five distinct clinical topics and could find no meaningful differences in the treatment effects on a broad array of clinical outcomes obtained from RCTs compared to observational data.

Additionally, a broad array of relevant secondary outcomes will be assessed to evaluate both interventions.
Early tests of intervention effects should test a broad array of plausible mechanisms and outcomes in order to expand our knowledge base and help refine our theoretical models.
