Resource Profile: EvidenceList

Profile of List for Evidence Based Medicine IG. The EvidenceList Profile is used to provide a list of Evidence Resources. The EvidenceList Profile is used to represent a Group of Evidence for the population for an EvidenceSynthesisEvidence using a summary data meta-analysis approach and is referenced from a MetaanalysisStudyGroup.

Usage:

• Refer to this Resource Profile: MetaanalysisStudyGroup
• Examples for this Resource Profile: List/179470 and List/179800
