   * Look at the sunburst diagram in qualitative synthesis and evaluate gap teeth. Gap teeth occur when a study has been tagged at the higher level instead of the lower, most specific level. If studies are tagged with Study Design instead of the most specific tag, this may result in gap teeth. Gap teeth can also result when there is a small amount of studies tagged.   * Look at the sunburst diagram in qualitative synthesis and evaluate gap teeth.
