A good and accurate literature review is a key element of systematic reviews and meta-analyses and always needs to be based on high quality original studies and logically never retracted. The aim of this methodological note is to provide a fast, reproducible and reliable system for detecting retracted literature included in systematic reviews and meta-analyses, allowing the consistency of the results of these to be verified and enabling the possibility of being able to communicate the potential presence of errors to the journals involved by means of a post-publication or post-peer review process. The SCRUTATIOm method, apply routinely, allows us to know if a certain study has been published in our field of study, which may not provide consistent evidence to the body of knowledge.

Palabras clave : Research methodology; Systematic reviews; Meta-analyses; Retracted literature.
