Abstract
Many users will access abstracts of Cochrane reviews to determine key points, either to represent the complete concept or to determine if full-text reading of the review is warranted. Abstracts need to be concise yet include the most important concepts. We will analyze 100 Cochrane review abstracts compared to key concepts selected from the Cochrane reviews for point-of-care summaries.
