Abstract
This is the first in a series of five articles on the steps to follow to conduct a successful systematic review. This first article addresses how to formulate the right questions to initiate a systematic review. The key issues are: how to structure the questions appropriately according to the main components: the participants, the interventions or exposures compared, the outcomes measured and the study design; how to anticipate and consider possible variations in each of the components that may arise during the review; and finally, how to prospectively register the protocol of the systematic review.
