Special features:
What is particularly good about this example is that search terms were defined by a number of experts and the review was conducted by three researchers working independently of one another. Furthermore, the search terms used have been very well extracted and the procedure of the literature selection very well described.
On the downside, the restriction to English-language literature brings the language bias into play, even though the authors consider it to be insignificant for the subject area.
