Subject: Systematic Review Summary Formats

 

Hi everyone, 

 

We are interested in the different formats that have been used to summarise systematic reviews. Specifically we are looking for examples of structured summaries of single systematic reviews which are prepared for non-systematic review authors, like consumers, clinicians and policy-makers. 

 

For example we are aware of:

·  Cochrane PICO by the Cochrane Editorial Unit

·  Critical Summaries by the Center for Evidence-Based Dentistry

·  Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (DARE) by the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination

·  Evidence-Based Child Health (EBCH) Summaries by the Cochrane Child Health Field, EBCH Editorial Office

·  Evidence Transfer Program: Review Summaries by the Cochrane Nursing Care Field

·  Evidence Update by the Effective Health Care Research Programme Consortium

·  health-evidence.ca by health-evidence.ca

·  Health Knowledge Network Evidence Bulletins by the Cochrane Consumers and Communication Review Group

·  Plain Language Summaries by the Cochrane CAM Field

·  Policy Liaison Initiative summaries by the Australasian Cochrane Centre

·  Rx for Change by CADTH

·  Rapid Evidence Summaries on the early management of burns in the emergency setting by the Cochrane Wounds Group and the Cochrane Injuries Group

·  SUPPORT Summaries by the The SUPPORT Collaboration

If you are aware of other formats for structured summaries of single systematic reviews, we would be very grateful if you could let us know. 

 

Thank you very much, 

 

Tari
