The purpose of this assignment is to have a succinct but detailed description of each of the articles you included in your review in order to prepare you to synthesize the evidence in the evidence synthesis assignment.
The task for this assignment is to create your evidence table.
Include actual effect estimates (size and significance) under results if applicable, to note your appraisal and limitations of the studies, and summarize themes or other comments so you don’t have to keep going back to the original articles; though you may need to go back to the original articles as you write your evidence synthesis.
Use Word, NOT Excel. It would be super helpful if you also made sure that your column headings restarted on each page, so that when I get to page 2 of your table, I don’t have to go back to the first page to remember what each column means. Remember that columns represent the data you extracted from each study and the rows represent each study. Also, please use landscape for your evidence table so that all columns fit across one page; rows can go onto the following pages for as many articles you have. Please do not use a font size less than 8.
***THE articles used for the table are below the example. ***
