3.6.7 Data extraction

Standardized data extraction tools promote the extraction of similar data across all of the included studies and are required for JBI systematic reviews. The protocol should detail what data the reviewers plan to extract from the included studies and the data extraction tool should be appended to the protocol (see Appendix 3.3). The set text from SUMARI describes this process:

Qualitative data will be extracted from papers included in the review using the standardized data extraction tool from JBI SUMARI by two independent reviewers. The data extracted will include specific details about the populations, context, culture, geographical location, study methods and the phenomena of interest relevant to the review question and specific objectives. Findings, and their illustrations, will be extracted and assigned a level of credibility.
