Questions Aug 18 (Jmh649) and answers
1. Question re: Ethnicity and Disease review (Paradies): “No where in the paper does it describe their method as a ‘systematic review’” Answer: I wondered about that too. In addition to the points mentioned on the TM Research talk page, I double-checked with a medical reference professional, who confirmed that it is a systematic review.
 * So we argree it DOES not say it is a systematic review. Thus we cannot say it is a systematic review. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 20:13, 23 August 2011 (UTC)


 * At this point, I have spoken with three medical research professionals and they agree that systematic reviews do not necessarily advertise themselves as such. Early morning person (talk) 21:24, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Which section of the article are these quotes in. I have searched and do not see the text mentioned. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 20:13, 23 August 2011 (UTC)


 * The quotes are on page e536, upper and middle right. Would suggest you print that page, as it is difficult to read onscreen, being tilted 90 degrees. Early morning person (talk) 20:27, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
