The resource provides users with a multimedia encyclopedic image library to enhance consultations, presentations, teaching and study.

a) Enter your search query. Select the appropriate filter for your question under Article types (e.g. systematic reviews, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, case reports, etc.) Note: Use MeSH subject terms instead of Article type filters to obtain case-control and cohort studies.

b) Enter search into Clinical Queries. [Clinical Queries uses specialized methodology search filters to retrieve clinically sound control trial studies regarding the therapy, diagnosis, etiology, and prognosis of diseases.]

For systematic reviews or meta-analyses: Enter your search query. Select Systematic Reviews under Subject Subset or Meta-analysis under Publication type.

To limit your Ovid MEDLINE search to the best evidence-producing studies: Enter search query. Click on the Additional Limits button to select study designs from Publication Types (e.g. randomized controlled trials, case reports, etc.). Note: Use MeSH subject terms instead of Article type filters to obtain case-control and cohort studies.

The database also searches unfiltered information and provides medical images, e-textbooks and patient information handouts.

Databases included in EBMR: Database of Systematic Reviews (DSR), ACP Journal Club, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (DARE), The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Cochrane Methodology Registry (CMR), Health Technology Assessment (HTA), and NHS Economic Evaluation Database (NHSEED).

The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) is part of the collection of evidence-based medical databases in the Cochrane Library.

DARE, produced by the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination, serves as an important counterpart to Cochrane's Database of Systematic Reviews.

ACP Medicine is peer-reviewed, updated continually and includes recommendations based on all levels of medical evidence. Recommendations also include strength-of-recommendation ratings based on the quality of the underlying evidence.

Databases included in EMBR Full-Text: Database of Systematic Reviews (DSR), ACP Journal Club, and Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (DARE). Material provided is full-text.
