    The issue 3 of 2012 of the Journal of Evidence Based Medicine highlighted the significant amount of research coming from China and its contribution to evidence-based healthcare. It introduced the SWAR (Study Within A Review) series, aimed at improving systematic review methods. The issue addressed the challenge of the increasing number of systematic reviews by examining the quality of overviews of these reviews. It included a systematic review of 44 studies on mice regarding adoptive transfusion of tolerance dendritic cells for cardiac allograft survival and a review of human studies on the diabetes drug sitagliptin. Additionally, the issue featured a randomized trial on acarbose chewable tablets for type 2 diabetes and an assessment of over 9,000 randomized trials on stroke management. The Cochrane Library's publication of 80 new or updated reviews was noted, with specific mention of a review on treatments for female pattern hair loss, an updated review on HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis, and a review on the use of electric fans during heatwaves.
