This web clinic will discuss the findings from a recent scoping review which investigated how Cochrane authors have incorporated evidence from NRSI in their reviews, and whether this has changed over time.

The scoping review aimed to look at how well Cochrane authors adhered to Cochrane handbook guidance, the methods used to analyse NRSI data (especially in addition to RCTs), how NRSI evidence was incorporated into Summary of Findings (SoF) tables, and which risk of bias tools were used.
