Set out your question, inclusion criteria and team roles in one place, so everyone is working to the same protocol from day one.
Importing
Define your question and context, then import references from any database or reference manager. Duplicates are removed automatically, before anyone screens a single title.
Screening
Independent dual screening, blinding and structured conflict resolution come as standard. Surfaces likely includes earlier, and every decision stays yours and stays recorded.
At full text, exclusion reasons are captured as you work, so your PRISMA numbers and your audit trail build themselves. Reviewers see progress at a glance, and supervisors can see where a review is stuck.
A combination of high-dose vitamin C plus zinc for the common cold.
Vitamin C and zinc play important roles in nutrition, immune defence and maintenance of health. Intake of both is often inadequate, even in affluent populations. The common cold continues to place a great burden on society in terms of suffering and economic loss. After an overview of the literature on the effects of the separate administration of either vitamin C or zinc against the common cold, this article presents data from two preliminary, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trials, conducted with a combination of 1000 mg vitamin C plus 10 mg zinc in patients with the common cold.
Data extraction
Build extraction templates once and reuse them across the team. Suggestions point you to the supporting text in the source, so you verify rather than retype — and you confirm every value that lands in your dataset.
“The project was supported by a grant from Blackmores Ltd, who also provided the study medications.”

Run risk of bias and quality assessment alongside extraction, with the tool your method calls for, and judgements recorded against every study.
Export
Your extracted dataset and your PRISMA aligned flow diagram both come out of decisions you have already made, and export for synthesis, submission and peer review.
