Evidence-Based Medicine -
Would you rather read 50,000 articles or 120?
 ?An enormous amount of work goes on behind the scenes to make sure
that Evidence-Based Medicine provides you with all the information you
need. We scan over 100 journals and around 50,000 articles a year so
that we can identify the most important and valid 120 research

if you read Evidence-Based Medicine, you?ll get all the important
research material you need in just 6 volumes that are published
throughout the year, saving you all important time to concentrate on
other things. To further emphasise the point, in a recent study*, it
was found that you?d have to read 227 articles in the Lancet or 118
articles in the New England Journal of Medicine to get the relevant
information that would be contained in 1 Evidence-Based Medicine
article.?

How to find current best evidence and how to have current best evidence find us.

Synopses

"When no evidence-based information system exists for a clinical
problem, then synopses of individual studies and reviews are the next
best source. What busy practitioner has time to use evidence-based
resources if the evidence is presented in its original form or even as
detailed systematic reviews? Although these detailed articles and
reviews are essential building blocks, they are often too heavy to
lift on the run. The perfect synopsis of a review or original study
would provide only, and exactly, enough information to support a
clinical action. The declarative title for each abstract that appears
in ACP Journal Club and Evidence Based Medicine."


Evidence-based journals or  Synoptic journals

"Invest in evidence-based journals and online services A growing
number of periodicals summarize the best evidence in traditional
journals, making their selections according to explicit criteria for
merit, providing structured abstracts of the best studies and expert
commentaries about the context of the studies and the clinical
applicability of their findings. These synoptic journals include ACP
Journal Club, Evidence Based Medicine, Evidence Based Mental Health,
Evidence Based Nursing, Evidence Based Health Care Policy and
Practice, Evidence Based Cardiovascular Medicine, and a number of
others. Synoptic journals do what traditional journals wish they could
do in selecting the best studies, finding the best articles from all
relevant journals and summarizing them in one place."

Broker,

According to the study below it appears that ACP Journal Club (ACP)
and Internal Medicine Alert (IMA) are similar to Journal Watch.

Reviewing the reviewers: the quality of reporting in three secondary journals
 
?Secondary journals such as ACP Journal Club (ACP), Journal Watch (JW)
and Internal Medicine Alert (IMA) have enormous potential to help
clinicians remain up to date with medical knowledge. However, for
clinicians to evaluate the validity and applicability of new findings,
they need information on the study design, methodology and results.?

Internal Medicine Alert

?Twice a month, Internal Medicine Alert, Stephen A. Brunton, MD,
Editor, brings you 6-8 abstracts of developments in internal medicine
accompanied by expert commentary. ECG reviews give quick, practical
lessons in ECG interpretation. Pharmacology updates provide unbiased
expert advice on the latest approved drugs. Clinical Briefs summarize
