Editing Cochrane Library (section)

==Contents==
The Cochrane Library consists of the following databases after significant changes in 2018:
* The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (Cochrane Reviews). Contains all the peer-reviewed systematic reviews and protocols (Cochrane Protocols) prepared by the Cochrane Review Groups.
* The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL). CENTRAL is a database that contains details of articles of controlled trials and other studies of healthcare interventions from bibliographic databases (majorly MEDLINE and EMBASE), and other published and unpublished sources that are difficult to access, including trials from the trial registries such as [[International Clinical Trials Registry Platform]] (ICTRP) and [[ClinicalTrials.gov]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cochranelibrary.com/central/about-central |title=Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials (CENTRAL) |website=cochranelibrary.com |access-date=2020-07-27}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Dickersin |first1=Kay |last2=Manheimer |first2=Eric |last3=Wieland |first3=Susan |last4=Robinson |first4=Karen A. |last5=Lefebvre |first5=Carol |last6=McDonald |first6=Steve |last7=Central Development Group |date=March 2022 |title=Development of the Cochrane Collaboration's Central Register of Controlled Clinical Trials |url=http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/016327870202500104 |journal=Evaluation & the Health Professions |language=en |volume=25 |issue=1 |pages=38–64 |doi=10.1177/016327870202500104 |pmid=11868444 |s2cid=22331214 |issn=0163-2787|url-access=subscription }}</ref> However, systematic reviewers need to search not only CENTRAL but also ICTRP and [[ClinicalTrials.gov]] to identify unpublished studies.<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Banno M, Tsujimoto Y, Kataoka Y |title=Using the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials to identify clinical trial registration is insufficient: a cross-sectional study. |journal=BMC Med Res Methodol |year=2020 |volume=20 |issue=1 |pages=200 |pmid=32711471 |doi=10.1186/s12874-020-01083-y |pmc=7382846 |doi-access=free }}</ref>

These evidence summaries on a variety of questions of interest to healthcare professionals have a user-friendly presentation with graphics and high-level conclusions of the research evidence based on Cochrane Reviews.<ref name=":0">{{cite web |url=https://www.cochranelibrary.com/about/about-cochrane-library |title=About the Cochrane Library {{!}} Cochrane Library |website=cochranelibrary.com |access-date=2019-01-21}}</ref>

The Cochrane Library now also features results from Special Collections and Editorials as well as an option to link out to other reviews compiled by [https://www.epistemonikos.org/ Epistemonikos].<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.epistemonikos.org/ |title=Epistemonikos: Database of the best Evidence-Based Health Care |website=epistemonikos.org |language=en |access-date=2019-01-21}}</ref>
