There needs to be a clear and direct link between the review question, title and the participant characteristics in the inclusion criteria.

For example, the population characteristics for conservative treatment for men may consider:

  • Age ranges (18-75)

  • Sex (male)

  • A diagnosis of prostate cancer (diagnosed within the last six months, either new, or recurrent disease)

  • Staging of severity of prostate cancer (I-IV)

The population should be clearly described and avoid ambiguity that may confound study selection.

Specific exclusion based on any participant or population characteristics should also be articulated in this section. In this example, patients with secondary tumor or metastasized cancer will be excluded.
