Writing the findings section of a qualitative systematic literature review requires more than summarizing individual studies. It requires a structured synthesis that is transparent, grounded in the reviewed evidence, and explicitly guided by the review purpose or research questions. 

For qualitative and mixed-evidence reviews in particular, Thomas and Harden (2008) show that synthesis should move in stages: staying close to the original studies, organizing findings into descriptive themes, and then developing higher-level analytical themes that answer the review question. 

The prompt below is designed to support exactly that process. It enforces stage-by-stage development, requires full coverage of the uploaded article-summary file (use the prompts here to create summary of articles), and delays drafting until the user confirms the outline and source allocation. In this way, it supports a findings section that is organized, traceable, and aligned with systematic review reporting expectations.
