Fig. 2From: A meta-review demonstrates improved reporting quality of qualitative reviews following the publication of COREQ- and ENTREQ-checklists, regardless of modest uptakePRISMA flowchart of study inclusion. Three searches were conducted: the first search aimed to identify all reviews on qualitative research. The second and third searches were conducted in PubMed and Web of Science, and aimed to identify all reviews citing the COREQ and ENTREQ respectively. *The number of studies citing the COREQ or ENTREQ were subtracted from the total number of studies of search 1; since some studies cited both COREQ and ENTREQ, the total number of studies subtracted is less than the total numbers identified by the COREQ and ENTREQ searchesBack to article page
