Apologies for crossposting
(lis-medical and MEDLIB-L will have had this)
Just in case any of you havent already seen this interesting new site.From a
brief look, not all reviews have a consumer summary, but I like the
philosophy of providing this and the presentation (eg browsing by topic)

Empowering consumers

"Serving patients' interests and canvassing more information about what
those interests are is exactly what the new Cochrane
Consumer Network website is about
http://www.cochraneconsumer.com
Launched a couple of weeks ago, this site is likely to prove an incredibly
useful (free) resource for patients and, I suspect, many of their doctors.
The visual appeal of the site may be more Cochrane than consumer, but it
provides both short readable summaries
of Cochrane reviews as well as, via
http://www.clinicaltrials.gov
and
http://www.trialscentral.org
, enough information about clinical trials to satisfy even the most
assiduous of inquirers."
