# An evidence-comparison worksheet

Keep the same question, study identities and differences visible when comparing papers.

Editorial worksheet. Not a generated clinical finding. Add source-supported notes and obtain physician review.

## Shared research question

- Write the population, intervention, comparator and outcome being compared.

- Do both sources address that question? Record any scope difference.

Source-supported notes:

Supporting table / figure / passage:

Unresolved point / next source to inspect:

## Separate studies or reports from one trial

- For each source, record title, year, identifier and original study identity.

- Mark whether these are independent studies, follow-up reports or subgroup reports.

| Review field | Study A | Study B |

| --- | --- | --- |

| Source identifier and passage | | |

| Reported detail | | |

| Access limit or unresolved point | | |

Unresolved point / next source to inspect:

## Population and comparator differences

- Compare eligibility, setting, baseline risk, intervention and comparator.

- Give a source location for a difference. Leave unavailable details unresolved.

| Review field | Study A | Study B |

| --- | --- | --- |

| Source identifier and passage | | |

| Reported detail | | |

| Access limit or unresolved point | | |

Unresolved point / next source to inspect:

## Endpoints and follow-up

- Record the exact endpoint definition and time point in each study.

- Can these outcomes be compared directly? Explain the source-supported limit.

| Review field | Study A | Study B |

| --- | --- | --- |

| Source identifier and passage | | |

| Reported detail | | |

| Access limit or unresolved point | | |

Unresolved point / next source to inspect:

## Effect estimates with source support

- Record denominator, estimate and uncertainty with the supporting table or passage.

- Keep each number with its study. Label absolute and relative measures.

| Review field | Study A | Study B |

| --- | --- | --- |

| Source identifier and passage | | |

| Reported detail | | |

| Access limit or unresolved point | | |

Unresolved point / next source to inspect:

## Agreement, conflict and remaining uncertainty

- Which points agree, which differ, and which concern different questions?

- Separate the reported results from your synthesis. Name the next source to inspect.
