Increasing the Number of Systematic Reviews in Health

The number of evident syntheses concerning coverd 19 went through the roof as governments, local authorities and professional bodies flocked to commission them. This year, rader found 30 systematic reviews for convalescent plasma based on only 11 clinical trials. And none of the reviews had included all the trials. You have this huge amount of inappropriate and probably wasteful duplication of effort. One possible solution lies in prospero, a data base started in 20 11, in which researchers can register their planned systematic reviews.
