Data Extraction:

All relevant data from the included research will be painstakingly retrieved using a standardized methodology. A standardized data extraction form will be used to record the most crucial data from each trial. The following information will be collected from each study that meets the inclusion criteria: study characteristics (like authors, publication year, and study design); participant characteristics (like sample size, demographics, and relevant details of important results); and study characteristics (like sample size, demographics, and relevant details of major findings).

Data Analysis

A thematic analysis will be performed as part of the data analysis process to identify commonalities, trends, and significant findings among the publications. In order to feel at ease with the data, the researcher will read the summaries of the included studies, summarizing the key results, participant characteristics, and reported outcomes. The data will be coded in a systematic fashion to represent descriptive units of information. Finding common threads throughout the studies will pave the way for data fusion and the generation of novel insights.
