• Structured search strategies
• Eligibility criteria, dual screening, and evidence mapping
• Risk-of-bias assessment and GRADE certainty ratings

How she works

Maria works with research teams to plan and document review methods, from defining eligibility criteria to coordinating screening and evidence mapping, and tailors the approach to the review question and the available evidence. She uses Covidence or Rayyan, EndNote or Zotero, RevMan, R, and Stata to support reproducibility, clear decision trails, and reporting that fits the review type.

She is especially interested in making complex review workflows understandable and auditable for readers, examiners, and collaborators.
