Effectiveness Review
Analytic Framework
[PDF - 415 KB]
When starting an effectiveness review, the systematic review team develops an analytic framework. The analytic framework illustrates how the intervention approach is thought to affect public health. It guides the search for evidence and may be used to summarize the evidence collected. The analytic framework often includes intermediate outcomes, potential effect modifiers, potential harms, and potential additional benefits.
A summary evidence table for this Community Guide review is not available because the CPSTF finding is based on the following published systematic review:
Gandhi S, Chen S, Hong L, Sun K, Gong E, Li C, et al. Effect of mobile health interventions on the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease: systematic review and meta-analysis. Canadian Journal of Cardiology 2017; 33:219-31.
The number of studies and publications do not always correspond (e.g., a publication may include several studies or one study may be explained in several publications).
