Cochrane Clinical Answers (CCA) - Cochrane Collection
These provide a readable, digestible, clinically focused entry point to rigorous research from Cochrane systematic reviews. They are designed to be actionable and to inform decision making at the point of care.

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews - Cochrane Collaboration
Fast, bottom-line answers to the most commonly-asked clinical questions, based on comprehensive and expert analysis of the medical literature. Includes the full text of Cochrane's regularly updated systematic reviews of the effects of health care. There are two types of reviews:

• Cochrane's Methodology Reviews: full-text systematic reviews of methodological studies. The reviews are both highly structured and systematic.
• Protocols provide place-markers for reviews, which are currently being written. They summarize the background and the rationale of the review.
