When it comes to academic writing, one of the most challenging tasks is crafting a literature review.

This critical component of research papers and dissertations requires a comprehensive understanding
of existing literature related to the topic at hand. However, delving into the vast sea of scholarly
articles, books, and other resources can be daunting and time-consuming.

Writing a literature review involves not only summarizing the findings of various studies but also
critically analyzing and synthesizing them to provide a coherent narrative that contributes to the
understanding of the research question or topic. It requires meticulous attention to detail, strong
analytical skills, and the ability to identify relevant sources.

One of the primary difficulties in writing a literature review is ensuring that it is comprehensive yet
focused. With an abundance of information available, it's easy to get overwhelmed and lose sight of
the main objectives of the review. Additionally, synthesizing diverse perspectives and findings into a
cohesive argument requires careful planning and organization.

Moreover, maintaining objectivity while evaluating existing literature can be challenging, especially
when dealing with controversial or conflicting research findings. It's crucial to critically assess the
quality and reliability of sources to avoid bias and ensure the credibility of the literature review.

some pitfalls to avoid. When drafting a systematic review, authors are expected to deliver a critical
assessment and evaluation of all this literature rather than a simple list. These RCTs are associated
with low study errors (low P-value, confidence interval which excludes 1, or a ”negative” result
associated with a power of over 80%). The criteria for ranking evidence is based on the design,
methodology, validity and applicability of the different types of studies. Animal studies also test
how safe and effective new treatments are before they are tested in people.(NCI Dictionary of
