The Cochrane Library is a collection of databases that contain high-quality, independent evidence to inform healthcare decision-making. Cochrane reviews represent the highest level of evidence on which to base clinical treatment decisions. In addition to Cochrane reviews, The Cochrane Library provides other sources of reliable information, from other systematic review abstracts, technology assessments, economic evaluations and individual clinical trials – all the current evidence in one single environment
The Cochrane Library consists of 6 databases of Evidence Based Resources, the most popular being Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Each review is written on a fairly focused topic, by experts after they have read up a huge no of articles on it, and what you read is the complete systematic review of the entire literature (well, almost) on the topic. Each review is revised roughly once in three years to include matters from more recent studies. If you read a Cochrane review, it is a source of Evidence based information
