In case evidence pertinent to the post question does exist in form of pub-lished studies, it might be synthesized by the performance of a literature review. Reviews of the scientific literature vary considerably in how they are conducted and if they do not follow an a priori de-fined and documented procedure that employs explicit means to identify, criti-cally appraise, and evaluate included studies they are usually referred to as “traditional” or “narrative” reviews. In contrast, systematic reviews represent powerful tools to identify, collect, syn-thesize, and evaluate primary research data on specific research questions in a highly standardized and reproducible manner. They enable the defensible syn-thesis of outcomes by increasing preci-sion and minimizing bias whilst ensuring transparency of the methods used. Alt-hough seen as a “gold standard” for syn-thesizing primary research data, system-atic reviews are not without limitations as they are often cost, labor and time intensive. In order to increase the effi-ciency of systematic review perfor-mance, an online-tool called CADIMA was developed at JKI to 1) guide review authors through the evidence synthesis process, 2) ease steps with a considera-ble workload and 3) assure for its thor-ough documentation.
