Evidence could not be grouped and analysed using meta-analysis due to heterogeneity of samples, methodology, interventions and outcomes (see Additional file 1).
The varied results and conclusions from available studies may be in part explained by significant differences in study populations, methodology, interventions, and the variability in CIN definitions employed among the different studies.
It is noteworthy that both sets of descriptors were not intended to affect the patients underlying health, and thus were health evaluation methodology interventions rather than intended as any kind of clinical intervention.
Studies varied widely in methodology, intervention delivery, participant characteristics, follow-up period, and measurement of cessation.
We will extract data regarding patient demographics, trial methodology, intervention details and outcome data guided by the Initiative on Methods, Measurement and Pain Assessment in Clinical Trials (IMMPACT).

What exactly does the IPS methodology intervention consist of to be able to continue and work effectively within a criminal justice setting?
Prespecified subgroups were based on the patients' baseline characteristics (body mass index (BMI), type of diabetes and stages of diabetic nephropathy) and study methodology (intervention period, measurement index of proteinuria, overall assessment risk of bias and diet compliance assessed by APIR).
A meta-analysis was not appropriate due to the heterogeneity of research designs, methodologies, interventions, and instruments of the studies included within this review.
This paper reports on the design and implementation of a multi-methodology intervention intended to support a budget prioritisation decision by a multi-organisational group tasked with tackling the problem of teenage pregnancy in an English borough.
