In 1972, Archie Cochrane wrote "It is surely a great criticism of our profession that we have not organised a critical summary, by specialty or subspecialty, adapted periodically, of all relevant randomised controlled trials". The Cochrane Collaboration arose in response to Archie Cochrane's challenge. Cochrane Eyes and Vision aims to prepare and promote access to systematic reviews of interventions for preventing or treating eye conditions and/or visual impairment, and helping people adjust to visual impairment or blindness. To identify all relevant randomised controlled trials, Cochrane Eyes and Vision has a team of information specialists who develop search strategies to identify studies for inclusion in Cochrane reviews. Since 1997 we have published 266 protocols, 193 new reviews and 158 updated reviews. The majority of these are reviews of intervention effectiveness; three reviews are diagnostic test accuracy reviews. Overall 18% of reviews contain no trials, highlighting a potential evidence gap. We provide training, education and guidance to systematic review authors and work with clinical and patient partners to prioritise and disseminate reviews. In addition, Cochrane Eyes and Vision US satellite carries out critical methodologic research addressing topics relevant to producing high-quality reviews. We are partnering with the journal Eye to publish commentaries on selected Cochrane systematic review findings. This partnership will allow us to make high-quality evidence available to ophthalmologists and other practitioners, researchers, policy makers and patients.
1972 年，阿奇· Cochrane 写道：“我们的专业人士没有组织起来，按专业或亚专业，定期对所有相关的随机对照试验进行批判性总结，这无疑是对我们专业的一大批评。” Cochrane 协作组织就是为了回应阿奇· Cochrane 的挑战而成立的。Cochrane 眼与视觉旨在编写和促进获取预防或治疗眼部疾病和/或视力障碍的干预措施的系统评价，并帮助人们适应视力障碍或失明。为了确定所有相关的随机对照试验，Cochrane 眼与视觉有一个信息专家团队，他们制定搜索策略来确定纳入 Cochrane 综述的研究。自 1997 年以来，我们已经发表了 266 份方案，193 份新的综述和 158 份更新的综述。其中大多数是干预效果的综述；有 3 篇是诊断测试准确性的综述。总体而言，18%的综述没有试验，这突出了潜在的证据差距。我们为系统评价作者提供培训、教育和指导，并与临床和患者合作伙伴合作，优先考虑和传播评价。此外，Cochrane 眼与视觉美国卫星开展了关键的方法学研究，以解决与制作高质量评价相关的主题。我们正在与 Eye 杂志合作，发表关于选定的 Cochrane 系统评价结果的评论。这种伙伴关系将使我们能够为眼科医生和其他从业者、研究人员、政策制定者和患者提供高质量的证据。
