Brett Berk of Vanity Fair praised the episode for "not only retreating into the series's standard, flailing, everybody-in-the-pool narrative template, or filling this metaphorical slough with more leaden tropes than Richard Serra circa 1968, but by having the results be precisely the inevitabilities we all knew would occur".
Pooled analyses and narrative synthesis provided mixed evidence of effectiveness.
Procopius recounts how the Empress Theodora got her start and Suetonius tells us what Tiberius did in his swimming pool on Capri in narratives no longer than this review.
Qualitative findings and the quantiative findings presented in narrative form were pooled.
This heterogeneity has largely been explored using a narrative structure, as pooling across all the studies was not possible due to the varied rules, outcomes and populations studied.
I marvelled at how the peripheral characters in one story became the main characters in another, how time and lifetimes contracted and expanded and narrative shadow and light pooled on sinking people and propped them up, resuscitating them, if possible, giving them renewed life through childbirth and new technologies, such as narrative in the shape of a PowerPoint report or text messages.
The review was considered to be a descriptive narrative review, without extensive pooling of data.
Given the clinical heterogeneity and insufficient data for statistical pooling, trials were described in a narrative way, taking into consideration methodological quality scores.
As there were no data suitable for statistical pooling, we synthesised the data in narrative form, using a thematic analysis [ 7], with themes derived from the literature and after discussion between the authors.
The abstract narrative starts in the reflecting pool with a couple torn apart when the man is taken away by dancers depicting National Guard soldiers.
If not, we will not pool the data but conduct a systematic narrative synthesis providing information to summarise and explain the characteristics and findings of the included studies.
