Let’s delve into the evidence pyramid, a powerful tool guiding us towards high-quality research findings!
The evidence pyramid outlines a hierarchy for identifying high-quality research evidence, with systematic reviews at the top, followed by individual studies like RCTs and cohort studies. Evidence-based summaries, such as clinical practice guidelines (CPGs), are considered secondary research studies and provide comprehensive summaries developed by experts. Starting with evidence summaries and progressing down the pyramid to individual studies is the most efficient way to search for the best research evidence.
