    TLDR Most Cochrane Skin Group reviews are helpful for improving dermatology practices, but some lack enough evidence for clinical recommendations.
    The study analyzed 55 Cochrane Skin Group systematic reviews published before August 16, 2012, to determine their usefulness for clinical practice in dermatology. It found that 74.5% of the reviews were useful for informing clinical interventions, with 29.1% providing strong evidence to support or reject at least one intervention, and 45.5% offering sufficient evidence for recommendations. However, 25.5% of the reviews lacked enough evidence to support any clinical recommendations. The authors concluded that the majority of the Cochrane Skin Group reviews are valuable for improving clinical practice, guiding informed decision-making, and identifying areas requiring further high-quality research.
