Quality and level of evidence How significant (or not) the evidence is and why you think so. How are these articles relevant to change practice or policy for your specific practice site and population? If a study is not significant and you have included it, mention how your clinical expertise was involved in this decision. Your summary the synthesis section should clearly indicate the intervention you plan to use in your project proposal.
