Access the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions
About the Handbook
When we add two fractions, such as 1/7 + 1/9, we make sure that the two denominators are the same and then we simply add the numerators. In cases where the denominators are not the same, we find the lowest common denominator and adjust the fractions to keep them intact.

The Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions is the official guide that describes in detail the process of preparing and maintaining Cochrane systematic reviews on the effects of healthcare interventions. All authors should consult the Handbook for guidance on the methods used in Cochrane systematic reviews. The Handbook includes guidance on the standard methods applicable to every review (planning a review, searching and selecting studies, data collection, risk of bias assessment, statistical analysis, GRADE and interpreting results), as well as more specialised topics (non-randomized studies, adverse effects, complex interventions, equity, economics, patient-reported outcomes, individual patient data, prospective meta-analysis, and qualitative research). The list of all author contributors of the Handbook is available here.
