Summary:

Background

Although there are efforts to systematically summarize and disseminate evidence on the effectiveness in Western medicine (WM), little has been done in the Chinese Medicine (CM) area. Given the increasing number of high quality randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews in CM, a “Knowledge Framework” is proposed for practitioners and the general public to understand and reference the CM treatment in different perspectives via internet. Thus, the “Knowledge Framework” can help improving the quality and efficiency of our current service.

Study Objectives

1) To design the structure and content of the framework from systematic review for incorporation into web-based platform;

2) To provide reliable, well documented and well interpreted critical appraisals of systematic reviews for frontline clinicians.
