About Cochrane Reviews
Cochrane reviews are systematic reviews of healthcare interventions that follow the highest methodological standards. They provide reliable evidence for clinical decision-making and are considered the gold standard for evidence synthesis.
The Summary of Findings (SoF) tables presented here provide key results and quality assessments using the GRADE approach, helping clinicians understand the certainty of evidence for each outcome.
