Cochrane reviews aim to support policy and practice decisions. Developing systematic strategies to understand the pathway from their production to actually making a difference in practice is difficult but extremely valuable. Such an exercise can help to determine meaningfulness of the reviews, identify their use in highlighting the spectrum of the primary evidence, flag opportunities to update and stimulate research gap analyses. This paper briefly describes our emerging approach to tracking and understanding the use, and usefulness, of published Cochrane Public Health Group (CPHG) reviews to date.
