Construct a structured PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome) or PECO (Population, Exposure, Comparator, Outcome) framework from a research question to guide systematic meta-analysis planning.

When to Use

• First step in any meta-analysis strategy
• When the research question needs formal structuring
• Before defining inclusion/exclusion criteria

Input

• research_question: The research question to structure
• domain: The research domain (clinical, computational, social science, etc.)

Output

A complete PICO/PECO framework with operationalized definitions for each component, suitable for driving search strategy and inclusion criteria.
