PRISMA improves the quality of systematic reviews in several ways:
Transparency: PRISMA encourages authors to clearly outline their review methods and findings, making it easier for others to understand and replicate the study. Consistency: By providing a standardized framework, PRISMA helps to ensure that reviews are conducted in a consistent manner, which is crucial for comparing results across studies. Comprehensiveness: The PRISMA checklist includes items that cover all aspects of the review process, from the rationale for the review to the methods used and the results obtained.
