The leading evidence-based
point-of-care clinical reference tool
Best Research Evidence
• Comprehensive – evidence only
known to be best
if all the available evidence is known
• Valid – critical appraisal determines
potential for bias
• Systematic – selection and evaluation
of evidence
by protocol reduces author bias,
investigator bias
Published information may be wrong or misleading
• Due to citation of what is published instead
of tracing to
original research
• Due to acceptance and citation of
conclusions of research instead of
evaluating methods and statistics
• Due to re-interpretation of information to
match personal biases
• Due to selective summarization and citation
from bias or familiarity
The greatest enemy of
knowledge is not ignorance;
it is the illusion of knowledge.
– Stephen Hawking
It ain’t what you don’t know that
gets you into trouble. It’s what you
know for sure that just ain’t so.
– Mark Twain

Unlike the “Encyclopedia Britannica” approach that
UpToDate takes to its topics—extensive, multiple pages,
mini-novels—DynaMed has a much more “bulleted” format.
It’s a “just the evidence” approach. Frankly, I like the “quick,

faster with DynaMed…”
