“…Interestingly, 36.1% of SRs included between 2010 and 2019 referred to the PRISMA statement, while a closer look at the SRs included between 2000 and 2009 reveals that hardly any of them referred to the QUOROM statement. This is supported by previous research indicating that journals have more frequently included the PRISMA guideline in their instructions to authors [ 29 , 30 ] and that author compliance has increased [ 31 , 32 ].…”

Background Restrictions in systematic reviews (SRs) can lead to bias and may affect conclusions. Therefore, it is important to report whether and which restrictions were used. This study aims to examine the use of restrictions regarding language, publication period, and study type, as well as the transparency of reporting in SRs of effectiveness. Methods A retrospective observational study was conducted with a random sample of 535 SRs of effectiveness indexed in PubMed between 2000 and 2019. The use of restrictions and their reporting were analysed using descriptive statistics. Results Of the total 535 SRs included, four out of every ten (41.3%) lacked information on at least one of the three restrictions considered (language, publication period, or study type). Overall, 14.6% of SRs did not provide information on restrictions regarding publication period, 19.1% regarding study type, and 18.3% regarding language. Of all included SRs, language was restricted in 46.4%, and in more than half of the SRs with restricted language (130/248), it was unclear whether the restriction was applied during either the search or the screening process, or both. The restrictions were justified for publication period in 22.2% of the respective SRs (33/149), study type in 6.5% (28/433), and language in 3.2% (8/248). Differences in reporting were found between countries as well as between Cochrane and non-Cochrane reviews. Conclusions This study suggests that there is a lack of transparency in reporting on restrictions in SRs. Authors as well as editors and reviewers should be encouraged to improve the reporting and justification of restrictions to increase the transparency of SRs.

“…It aims to build an association model of the findings during the Systematic Literature Review. In the article that Gundogan et al (2020) evaluates the compliance of journals that used the PRISMA, a gap is signaled in this study not only being used by the health segments but also by other areas of study, also in the article it is demonstrated that general compliance with the PRISMA statement has improved the quality of publications. The PRISMA contains comprises the well-define stages of a systematic review such as developing eligibility criteria and describing information sources, search strategies, study selection processes, outcomes and data synthesis (Moher et al, 2015).…”

Paper aims: Due to the scarcity of research that approaches the Lean Office in conjunction with Industry 4.0 Technologies, this article aims to discuss, understand and analyze the associations between these two concepts, as well as identify gaps to be explored.Originality: This research contributes with guidelines for applying Industry 4.0 Technologies in administrative areas and possibilities of an association with the Lean for the development of the Smart Office.Research method: Based on a systematic review of the literature, with a basic purpose, a descriptive objective, and qualitative data, a framework for developing the Smart Office is presented.Main findings: An association model between Lean Office tools and Industry 4.0 Technologies is provided. It even classifies and addresses the impact and trends in administrative environments so that managers can develop the Smart Office.Implications for theory and practice: Industry 4.0 technologies have been widely discussed in companies that seek to improve processes, mainly industries; however, there are still few applications in administrative environments. The applicability and association of new technologies for Smart Office can explore future studies and contribute to the growth of these areas in addition to the creation of new articles relating to technologies in this environments.

“…This technique ensures strong and reproducible results (Debray 2017). PRISMA has been used to improve quality of systemic review protocols and has been applied in significant number of studies related to health (Gundogan et al, 2020), disaster (Nandgude et al, 2023), education (Ardoin & Bowers, 2020), climate change (Bherwani et al, 2020a), risk management (N. Kumar et al, 2021), and engineering (Gharbia et al, 2020) among others. This SLR involves research question identification as its first step.…”

Severe weather events, such as heat waves, floods, pollution, and health threats, are becoming more common in metropolitan places across the world. Overcrowding, poor infrastructure, and fast, unsustainable urbanization are some of the problems that India faces, and the country is also susceptible to natural disasters. This research analyzes climatic variables affecting urban hazards in Bangalore (also known as Bengaluru) via a thorough review. Heat waves, urban floods, heat islands, and drought were identified in 156 qualifying publications using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) method. Contributing variables were also considered. City development and urbanization were key to changing climate and increasing urban dangers. While long-term climatic variable distribution is uneven, warming is evident. The report promotes strong urban planning techniques, comprehensive policies, more green areas, and sustainable development beyond short-term heat response programs to boost urban climate resilience. This study shows how climate, land use, and urban dangers are interconnected. Future studies may benefit by categorizing urban risk studies and identifying climatic factors.
