Abstract

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Methodology). The objectives are as follows:

To assess the effects of 'Summary of findings' tables on communicating key findings of systematic reviews of the effects of healthcare interventions.

This will be achieved by:

assessing the effects of 'Summary of findings' tables versus full versions of systematic reviews on communicating key findings of systematic reviews of the effects of healthcare interventions;

assessing the effects of 'Summary of findings' tables plus full review versus full review (no 'Summary of findings' tables);

assessing the effects of 'Summary of findings' tables versus other summaries of systematic reviews on communicating key findings of systematic reviews of the effects of healthcare interventions;

assessing the effects of interactive 'Summary of findings' tables versus static 'Summary of findings' tables on communicating key findings of systematic reviews of the effects of healthcare interventions;

assessing the effects of 'Summary of findings' tables versus other formats of 'Summary of findings' tables on communicating key findings of systematic reviews of the effects of healthcare interventions;

assessing how particular participant groups e.g. patients, healthcare providers, policy makers, understand and apply the information from the 'Summary of findings' tables.
