Transcript workshop presentation - Cochrane Editorial Unit

New Users & Derivative Products
Theme 3 for the Cochrane Strategic Discussion
Paris, April 2012
Aim – Discuss ways to make Cochrane
findings more accessible
• Help users find the Cochrane review they
need
• Build new derivative products using
components of reviews
• Better integration between CDSR & CRS
Should I take
vitamins or
supplements?
Can the
Cochrane
Library help
me decide?
Issues for the small groups
• How would you like to see Cochrane content
displayed?
• What are the key components of Cochrane
Reviews?
– That should be displayed more frequently
– Are likely to have the answers users are seeking
– “Key” for other reasons
• What are the barriers or problems with these
innovative displays?
3 EXAMPLES TO GET YOU THINKING
One Possible
Approach
Example #2
THE PICOTRON
The Issues
• Cochrane Clinical Answers – succinct answers
to specific clinical questions based on one or
more Cochrane reviews
• The Problem – authors needed a lot of time to
read the reviews & extract the succinct
answers
• The Solution – The PICOtron – new software
that can read & summarize Cochrane reviews
PICOtron Components
• Title
• Abstract Conclusions
• Methods – Types of
Participants, Interventions,
Outcome Measures
• Results – Risk of Bias
• Results – Data & Analyses
• Figures – Forest Plots
• Conclusions – Implications
for Practice

The Cochrane Collaboration
could do more of this
• Structure of Cochrane content
• Recent advances in technology
– No need for a long explanation, but here’s an idea
of how it could work
– See recent talks by Chris Mavergames for more
detail (links in the discussion forum)

First Small Group
• Start with an individual task
– How would you like to see Cochrane content
displayed?
– Draw a sketch to describe it
Sketching
•
•
•
•
•
A conversation starter
Not a drawing
Neater isn’t better
Mistakes are encouraged
Might be all text
Convene Small Group
• Present & Explain your sketch
– Start the conversation
• What are the key components of Cochrane
Reviews?
– That should be displayed more frequently
– Are likely to have the answers users are seeking
– “Key” for other reasons
Second Small Group
• Identifying Barriers or Issues
• What will we need to address to make this
happen?
