You are not required to submit this assignment to Turnitin, unless otherwise directed by your instructor. If so directed, refer to the Student Success Center for directions. Only Word documents can be submitted to Turnitin.

Synthesis Table Example

	Name of Article	Name of Article	Name of Article	Name of Article
Levels of Evidence
Study Design
Variable to be studied
Variable to be studied
Variable to be studied

Compare template above to my table below. At a glance you can see the names of the most important articles I choose, the level of evidence of that study, what the design was, and what variables were important to know about in each article. As you study the table, the reader can clearly see more studies in support of BiPAP than IS along with other information that would be of interest to the provider to support standards of care.
