*August 2020 Update: In order to make our evidence base even more actionable, we have introduced Evidence Tables. Based on GRADE, these tables support faster and better decision making by providing easy access to evidence evaluations and recommendations. Evidence Tables create greater transparency around evidence which supports better clinical decision making and, ultimately, better outcomes for patients.
