Research-agenda bias

The accumulation of clinical evidence by making systematic reviews and archiving them together in an orderly and accessible manner enables us to know what we really know. At the same time, complementary to what we know, it offers us the possibility to better recognize what we do n ót know but need to know, and what next research steps should therefore be. In other words, knowing our ‘evidence base’ can also give guidance for our “evidence chase”, paving the way for clinically important new research [1].
