Abstract
As a part of evidence-based medical practice to obtain high-level evidence through summarizing previous studies, systematic review and meta-analysis have been paid more and more attention.The number of papers published is increasing recently.However, many relevant published papers in biomedical sciences revealed low quality, such as non-uniform and incomprehensive items, and even unclear narrative in many portions of review.These problems reduced the evidence-based role of systematic review and Meta-analysis paper, and affected the interpretation and effective availability of summarized evidence.Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) is a report standard, but it has not been well-known in ophthalmology of China.The systematic review and meta-analysis published by Chinese ophthalmologists are less guided by PRISMA.Learning PRISMA is helpful not only for improving quality of papers, but also for acquainting the key elements of high-level clinical research, even for standardizing the medical code of conduct, which are important to make it better for conduct evidence-based research in ophthalmology. Key words: Evidence-based medicine; Systematic reviews; Meta analyses; Report standard; Clinical research; Ophthalmology; Standardization; Preferred Reporting Items
