MEDICAL EVIDENCE MATTERS

The problem …

How do you find the most effective therapies for known conditions?

The problem …

Traditional bibliographic search

100s of full-text articles

100s of hours reading them

1000s of references

Need to make a judgement on how well the research is carried out

Need to decide if relevant for individual patient

Need to extract data from the articles

How do you find the most effective therapies for known conditions?

What is Medical Evidence Matters?

• Helps the doctor to find the peer-reviewed research relevant to his / her patient

• Helps the medical researcher to find the peer-reviewed research relevant to his / her study

• Organizes relevant medical research into summaries, tables, and graphs so therapy options can be assessed

• Compare and contrast how effective different therapies are

Evidence Matters applies PICO method to customize searches for individual patients

Example 1:For Diabetes Mellitus, what is the effect of Antidiabetic agents compared by the outcome Plasma glucose

Example 2:For Breast cancer, what is the effect of Radiotherapy versus Surgery compared by the outcome Disease-free survival.
