We want to conduct a systematic review of in vitro studies which assessed the effect of homeopathic medicines on cytokine induction in macrophages culture.
Striving for high standards of methodological quality should be coupled with similar rigor for reporting the results of research in the literature. Research should be reported accurately, thoroughly, and transparently. Reporting quality is distinct from methodological quality but the two concepts overlap in a number of ways. Thorough reporting helps in the assessment of the methodological quality of a study. For instance, including only statistically significant results in a research paper is an example of both poor reporting and a risk of bias . Consequently, an appraisal of both methodological and reporting quality is essential to ensure that accurate information is derived from published research.
Strict inclusion and exclusion criteria is the best way to avoid bias. Make it clear you are using animal or human studies if human then certain disease specifically infected individual must be excluded as WBC count is already disturbed . So choose studies of the same inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria to save potential bias.
To date, there is no standard RoB tool to assess the methodological quality of the in-vitro study. However, you can assess methodological studies by strictly following previously published studies. And, you should keep in mind that you have adopted/modify some of the parameters with previously published studies because your eligibility criteria may no be the same.
