Systematic review Question
B

If I may ask a question, when undertaking the study selection process and abstracts and titles are initially screened by reviewers/ For example if pub med is searched ( for an RCT systematic review) electronically and on the prisma flow chart it states 163 were initially were screened and after the abstracts were 155 were excluded prior to abstract review. My question is what does the 163 mean ?. Does this include any paper related to the subject ie. conference reports, other systematic reviews, observational studies, case reports etc?.Any thoughts ?
