Starting this month, we will look at Cochrane systematic reviews dealing with health problems. These could be communicable diseases or non-communicable diseases.

In each instance, we will try to get to the heart of the recommendations by first making sense of the review.

This implies making sense of the review report, so the first few posts will provide guidance on that aspect.

For the sake of brevity, we will restrict ourselves to the summary, only discussing the main report when warranted.

Readers are free to suggest specific reviews for discussion.
