If we observe, apart from pre-clinical and clinical studies, researcher in health research usually write Review articles. What's you think regarding contribution/impact of review articles in Research field?
I think review articles summarise relevant literature. Systematic review is higher evidence than many formats of study ( invitro, observational , cohort, even rct )

Yes, I agree with Dr Manisha Naithani
As long as the review is up to date, and summarising the appropriate literature, yes, it contributes as a high level of evidence, as comparisons and critique can be expressed. Using a systematic review that has collected the relevant data means that you are not taking a single view of a subject. Cochrane Reviews are what spring to mind for quality. To quote from:
https://www.cochrane.org/news/cochrane-library-improved-online-platform-guide-health-decision-making-across-world#:~:text=Cochrane%20Reviews%20are%20recognized%20internationally,databases%20within%20the%20Cochrane%20Library.
'Cochrane Reviews are recognized internationally as representing a gold standard for high-quality, trusted information, and are published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, one of the databases within the Cochrane Library'.

Dear professor,
Thank you for the great question.
If I have to answer your question directly, I would prefer to say, "Immense".
As Manisha Naithani has written review articles summarize the literature available in that topic or related topics. Mary C R Wilson has rightly written that review articles tell us about the different standpoints from which the topic of a research can be looked at.
I just want to add one point here. Review articles review the available literature on a topic or related topics, Thus, it helps in generation of future topics of research in a particular discipline or domain. It helps in identification of the gaps existing in a particular discipline or domain.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Anamitra.
I strongly agree with the others. I believe that whenever we write a review article we read all the relevant important articles and try to summarize its important findings into one. It helps the readers to read one relevant topic and absorb all the parameters and related matters to the topic.
From the review article, one may find better opportunities to explore a new idea or innovative thinking for further projects.
