“Embase is a rich source of reports of
randomized trials that are either not included
in MEDLINE or not indexed as trials in
MEDLINE, especially reports in some languages
other than English.”
Carol is working on a systematic review to
determine if antibiotics should be used to
alleviate a sore throat. She needs to adhere to
specific guidelines to ensure she has conducted a
through search of the literature in order to
establish whether or not there is conclusive
evidence about a specific treatment — it is
important she gets all of the information to
ensure treatments are based on the most up-to-
date and reliable evidence.
