Table 3 From Summary Of Findings Tables In Cochrane Reviews I Objective: to measure the effects of a summary of findings (sof) table on user satisfaction, understanding, and time spent finding key results in a cochrane review. study design and setting: we randomized participants in an evidence based practice workshop (randomized controlled trial [rct] i) and a cochrane collaboration entities meeting (rct. Key finding • inclusion of a summary of findings (sof) table in a cochrane review helped readers understand the results more correctly and find key information about the main outcomes and quality of the evidence faster compared with a review with no table.

Table 1 From Summary Of Findings Tables In Cochrane Reviews I Participants with the sof table spent an average of 90 seconds to find key information compared with 4 minutes for participants without the sof table (p 50.002). conclusion: in two small trials, we found that inclusion of an sof table in a review improved understanding and rapid retrieval of key findings compared with reviews with no sof table. The final version of the sof table improved the understanding and rapid retrieval of the key findings of the review compared with reviews with no sof table. however, the trial we conducted was small, and generalizability of the results is uncertain. the cochrane handbook now recommends that review authors include an sof table in their review. To measure the effects of a summary of findings (sof) table on user satisfaction, understanding, and time spent finding key results in a cochrane review. In the cochrane database of systematic reviews (cdsr), all ‘summary of findings’ tables for a review appear at the beginning, before the background section. 14.1.2 selecting outcomes for ‘summary of findings’ tables.

Two alternatives versus the standard grading of recommendations assessment, development and evaluation (grade) summary of findings (sof) tables to improve understanding in the presentation of systematic review results: a three arm, randomised, controlled, non inferiority trial. The summary of findings table aims to help readers understand the results of a cochrane review more correctly and find key information faster by: highlighting the most important outcomes, both benefits and harms. presenting what is known and not known about each of these outcomes. presenting how sure we can be of the evidence for each outcome.
