“…Previous numerous attempts to summarize the findings in the field have led to a few influential narrative reviews (Hsieh and Ranganath, 2014;Klimesch, 1999;Roux and Uhlhaas, 2014;van Ede, 2018). However, in narrative reviews, the data are selectively reported, often favoring the most visible studies, or focusing on studies supporting the narrative (Bushman and Wells, 2001;Pae, 2015). The excessive amount of literature may be one reason why there is no systematic review on this wide topic.…”

“…This narrative review was based on the methods of Cipriani and Geddes (2003) and Pae (2015). Accordingly, the research method (Cipriani & Geddes, 2003;Pae, 2015) did not have a predefined protocol-basis and the hypothesis was a broad overview of the topicrelated research area. The search method necessarily involved subjective selection bias, with the search media mainly from PubMed or Medline database.…”

AimThe aim of this study was to examine the reported characteristics of extant studies on palliative care for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.DesignNarrative review.MethodsA comprehensive search of the following electronic databases in English and Japanese commenced from 2002 ‐ December 2017. Eligibility criteria was determined by the inclusion and exclusion criteria.ResultsNineteen articles were eligible. The characteristics of palliative care for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis were symptoms relief, start time of palliative care and palliative care needs of patients and care partners. Also, patients' education of disease management including advanced care planning and developing a palliative care system by the healthcare provider including multidisciplinary professional teams was identified. The care provided was a “care conference” and integrated palliative care was carried out in the patient's home. The majority of the studies were qualitative and retrospective in design. The palliative care system and the development of palliative care were limited.

“…Randolph (2009) states that narrative reviews tend to be significantly affected by the reviewer's subjectivity. In fact, the absence of an objective and systematic review process of bibliography results in a number of methodological shortcomings leading to clear bias of the author's interpretation and conclusions (Pae, 2015). Additionally, narrative reviews become less feasible as the number of included studies increases (Gifford, 2016).…”

The systematic review of the literature is a fundamental methodology for analyzing critically the existing literature on a given research theme. They are designed to be methodical, replicable and guide the author in identifying the main lines of investigation and conclusions in each scientific domain and, in addition, help them in the identification of new directions of research. However, the systematic review process is typically viewed as too heterogeneous, complex and time-consuming. In this sense, it is pertinent to propose a new approach for conducting systematic reviews that may be more agile, not only in terms of development, but also in the analysis of the results of a systematic review process. This article presents a canvas framework for conducting a systematic review composed of nine blocks and based on a set of identified good practices found in the literature, in which it is possible to easily identify all the steps of the process, options taken, and main results.
