Please give additional activity details (i.e., reach, impact, duration, return on investment) This 60-minute webinar, presented by Anelisa Jaca on 28 February 2025, focuses specifically on overviews of reviews (sometimes called “umbrella reviews” or “reviews of reviews”). The aim of that talk would have been to: Define an overview of reviews, explain how they differ from other reviews, show where to find them in the Cochrane Library and other databases, and demonstrate their usefulness in summarizing evidence for policymakers, clinicians, and researchers.
