research evidence

— The findings of studies, including systematic reviews


Synonyms:

research findings, research results

Full explanation:

Evidence consists of facts (actual or asserted) intended for use in support of a conclusion. Research evidence is facts that have been systematically collected and analysed using explicit methods. Using systematic methods reduces the risk of being misled by bias (systematic errors) or the play of chance. Explicitly describing the methods that were used enables people to assess the risk of bias and of being misled by the play of chance.
