Strengths and limitations
Here we have answered a question regarding the numbers and scope of gynaecology trials that were not being included in Cochrane systematic reviews, however due to time restraints we were limited in practical terms, to only being able to study those trials published from 2010-2011, and we did not have the opportunity to match these unused trials to non-Cochrane reviews.
However, this pragmatic approach allowed for a comprehensive collection of RCTs in gynaecology to be investigated in-depth, in terms of the population, intervention and inclusion status in any existing
Cochrane SR.
