Cochrane has always aimed to provide the right evidence at the right time. As we move into a more collaborative and AI-enabled era, delivering this goal will increasingly rely on structured data. Gert van Valkenhoef, Cochrane’s Head of Data, sets out why we are improving Cochrane’s approach to data, the difference this could make, and what this means for our authors.

Researchers from Trinity College Dublin, St James’s Hospital, and collaborating institutions have carried out the most comprehensive review to date of tools used to estimate breast cancer risk in women with a family history of the disease.

Planned early birth for pregnant women with high blood pressure cuts maternal complications by nearly half and reduces the risk of stillbirth, without increasing the likelihood of caesarean section, according to a new Cochrane review.

Gerald Gartlehner from Cochrane Austria, Principal Investigator for the study, discusses how the study works, and what makes it interesting.

Cochrane has confirmed the two artificial intelligence (AI) tools selected to take part in our innovative platform study evaluating how artificial intelligence could support and enhance key stages of evidence synthesis.

Cochrane has launched an innovative study to test whether artificial intelligence tools can support or enhance evidence synthesis. We only have scope to evaluate two, and so a selection process was required. Here, we outline that process and demonstrate what Cochrane values when deciding whether to use an AI tool for evidence synthesis.

Over the past 10 years Cochrane Taiwan has built a reputation for mobilizing knowledge and promoting evidence-based medicine both in Taiwan and beyond. Here they share some of the successes and learnings that have stood out over the past decade.
