01
Systematic reviews
Question formulation, reproducible searches, structured appraisal, risk-of-bias assessment, GRADE, and transparent synthesis.
Research
Evidence is most useful when the question comes first.
Felipe's current work spans systematic reviews, pairwise and network meta-analysis, clinical evidence reviews, and earlier laboratory and cohort research at UFMG.

Methods
Evidence synthesis
02
Pairwise meta-analysis
Quantitative synthesis for direct comparisons, with attention to heterogeneity, sensitivity analysis, and clinical interpretation.
03
Network meta-analysis
Comparative synthesis across treatment networks when the evidence structure and assumptions make indirect comparison defensible.
