Abstract
Systematic reviews (SRs) are vital to gathering and structuring knowledge, yet descriptions of their procedures are often inadequate. In human–computer interaction (HCI), SRs are still uncommon but gaining momentum, which prompted us to explore how SRs are reported at CHI—the flagship HCI conference venue. To assess the reporting quality of CHI reviews that aim for a systematic approach, we conducted an umbrella review and applied reporting guidelines for SRs (PRISMA and ENTREQ) to our corpus. We contribute the first exploration of how well SRs at CHI meet guidelines for reporting quality, showcasing strategies for improvement in reporting and conducting SRs especially in the domains of appraisal, synthesis, and documentation (i.e., protocol development). Finally, we present guiding questions for HCI researchers and practitioners for reporting SRs, as well as suggestions for best practices.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
