| Number of systematic reviews included | 324 |
| Summary of Findings | 1.23% of included reviews had librarian co-authors. 26.23% of reviews acknowledged or mentioned librarians in the methods section. In the remaining 72.53% of systematic reviews, there was no clear evidence that a librarian had been involved. The authors conclude that librarian co-authored systematic reviews were associated with lower risk of bias [*no statistical significance testing*] compared to systematic reviews with acknowledgement or no participation by librarians. |
