This year’s first quarterly Cochrane snapshot appeared in the MJA last month. The short feature takes a brief look at a range of recent reviews – from e-cigarettes to absenteeism and gastro-oesophageal reflux in children. This semi-regular MJA feature aims to raise awareness of current reviews and inspire readers to delve further into Cochrane evidence on topics of all kinds. The next snapshot is due to appear in April.
