For instance, lately, I've seen that many authors use a summary table with relevant papers.
Do the research first, then write the literature review with as few papers as possible, using review articles and a few classical papers
Andrew Paul McKenzie Pegman That's a good tip to start with review papers. I've seen surveys based on meta-analyses or meta-regression analyses.
Check recent articles in the Journal of Economic Literature and the Journal of Economic Surveys. To have a look at the recent handbooks (Elsevier) in your field can help, too.
Writing a good literature review demands that you peruse the article taking note of the objectives of the paper, the method used and the results. Thereafter, you paraphrase your outcome. Do this for as many articles you want to review. It is best to input the outcome of your perusal in a table before paraphrasing. Some authors even present their outcomes in the table.
Just pay more focus on the abstract and findings of the related papers to write good literature, but the review papers can help you more.
