We are currently conducting a meta-aggregative QES. In the synthesis of findings, we usually provide illustrations for each finding with verbatim quotes from the participants. However, there are findings of few included papers that do not have verbatim quotes from the participants - some illustrations are in the forms of figures, flow chart, etc. Should the illustrations for the each finding in QES always be verbatim quotes from the participants - to consider they are Unequivocal and Credible? What to do if the provided illustrations are in other forms other than verbatim quotes?
Please see 21.11. There are many options behind pure quotes. Sometimes quotes are inappropriate or excluded for other reasons—you might note if researchers stated why direct quotes were omitted. You have several options, so be transparent. Excluding an article on quotes alone could greatly alter your sample. https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-21#section-21-10
