Coming from mid-November 2025 for Cochrane reviews:

💥 A new AI disclosure section across all reviews
💥 Changes to all reviews types to reflect evolving methodological best practice & to align with recent changes to intervention reviews
💥 Changes to how rapid reviews are managed
Clearer, more consistent Cochrane reviews are coming.

From mid-November, we’re updating reporting formats to make reviews easier to use, more accessible, and more impactful.
