Although there are sceptics and critics, the Cochrane Collaboration continues to grow exponentially. With centres in nine countries, its common goal is to create, maintain and disseminate systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials in an effort to bring clinicians the most current, accurate evidence about medical treatments available around the world. The future of the collaboration will depend largely on whether the methodology of their reviews can be shown to be valid and to produce consistently relevant and timely reviews.
尽管存在怀疑者和批评者，但考克兰协作网仍在呈指数级增长。它在九个国家设有中心，其共同目标是创建、维护和传播对随机对照试验的系统评价，以便为临床医生提供有关全球现有医学治疗方法的最新、最准确的证据。该协作网的未来将在很大程度上取决于其评价方法能否被证明是有效的，以及能否持续产生相关且及时的评价。
