Having talked to several students who are working on DQPs, I wanted to highlight a previous post on finding specific types of studies in PsycInfo.
You can focus in on just meta-analyses and literature reviews and then combine this search with your topic.
Also, PubMed offers a clinical query page where you can search for systematic reviews in the health sciences.

Comparison of PubMed and CSA's Medline
PubMed is the free version of Medline, the premier citation/abstract index for medical (including Psychiatry and Psychology) articles and other information. You may have noticed that our CSA database includes Medline too. What are the differences?
Access to Full Text: Medline in CSA will have links to full text for some articles because we have purchased access, PubMed will only have access to full text if it is freely available on the Web.
Coverage: PubMed goes much further back in time--back to 1966 and sometimes earlier. Medline in CSA goes back to 1996.
Each has its own search interface so try each one to see which works for you.
To link to PubMed, go to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/
To visit Medline in CSA, go to the Access Online Databases page and log in. Click on the CSA link.
