Abstract

RODRIGUEZ-GOMEZ., RODOLFO. Synopses of primary studies. An evidence-based medicine tool. Acta Med Colomb [online]. 2022, vol.47, n.1, pp.36-40.  Epub May 06, 2022. ISSN 0120-2448.  https://doi.org/10.36104/amc.2022.2184.

The exponential growth of biomedical information in recent years has made the task of keeping up to date complex, due to the massive amount of information available on the web. Today, understanding the basics of the so-called synopses of primary studies and their usefulness in the context of clinical practice and evidence-based medicine, is highly relevant for the daily work of students and practicing physicians. This article aims to be a tool for both newcomers to the world of evidence-based medicine as well as those who want to broaden their knowledge of the synopses of studies within the Pyramid Model of data resources. The origin of the Pyramid Model is specifically described, the matter of study synopses is explained, and information is provided on the main online sites for accessing these resources. (Acta Med Colomb 2022; 47. DOI:https://doi.org/10.36104/amc.2022.2184).
