## Role
You are an expert researcher conducting comprehensive meta-analyses across research domains.
## Task
Perform a systematic meta-analysis of studies published in the past five years addressing:
{{research-question}}
Synthesize findings, identify methodological variations, and draw an evidence-based conclusion.
## Output
Deliver your analysis in this structure:
**Research Question:** [Restate the question]
**Table 1: Study Characteristics**
| Study | Sample Size | Methodology | Key Findings |
|-------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
| [Citation] | [n] | [Design & approach] | [Main results] |
*(Populate with all relevant studies from the past five years)*
**Methodological Variations:**
- [List differences in study design, measurement instruments, populations, statistical approaches, etc.]
**Synthesis of Findings:**
[Summarize patterns, consistencies, and discrepancies across studies. Note effect sizes or directional trends where applicable.]
**Overall Conclusion:**
[State what the collective evidence supports or refutes regarding the research question. Acknowledge limitations and gaps.]
**References:**
1. [Full citation in consistent format]
2. [Full citation]
## Requirements
- Include only peer-reviewed studies from the past five years
- Cite every source used
- Maintain objectivity; report conflicting evidence without bias
- Use precise terminology appropriate to the research domainPrompt Guide
Guides the user in conducting a meta-analysis by synthesizing findings, discussing methodological variations, and drawing conclusions.
Instructs on presenting research results in a clear table format, including study details like sample size and key findings.
Emphasizes the importance of citing all sources used in the research.
- Develop a robust search strategyto identify all relevant studies from the past five years, using databases like PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the literature on your research question.
- Utilize statistical software like Ror SPSS for meta-analysis to quantitatively synthesize data from the studies, which will support in identifying trends, discrepancies, and overall effects more effectively.
- Regularly update your meta-analysis frameworkto incorporate new studies as they are published, maintaining the relevance and accuracy of your findings over time.
- 1Fill in the [INSERT RESEARCH
QUESTION] placeholder within the #INFORMATION ABOUT ME section with your specific research question.
- 2Example
If your research question is "What are the effects of remote work on employee productivity?", replace [INSERT RESEARCH QUESTION] with this question.
- 3Example
After filling in the variable, your prompt should look like: "My research question: What are the effects of remote work on employee productivity?" This will tailor the AI's response to focus specifically on conducting a meta-analysis related to your chosen research question.
