"As in systematic reviews, scoping review authors should only extract data items that are relevant to the scoping review questions. Therefore, potential data items of interest can be structured around the PCC framework. Further items for data extraction will depend on the purpose and reasoning behind conducting the review. For example, the individual items could be related to the study design, such as whether it was a randomized controlled trial (RCT); the methods used for conduct; and outcome measurement approaches. Alternatively, it could include definitions, statements, or arguments surrounding a concept. It could be interventions studied, their application, dose, duration, and frequency."

Data Extraction Guidelines

• Create a standardized data extraction form
• Document guidance for the form will be used and applied and ensure all team members understand
• Describe the planned data extraction and develop a draft extraction form for your protocol
• Test your draft data extraction form on each type of study included in the review
• Have at least 2 researchers independently extract the data from each included study
• Develop a plan for resolving disagreements in data extraction
