Synposes of Single Studies provide a brief, sufficiently detailed summary of a high-quality study that can inform clinical practice.

Many of the evidence-based resources listed in the Synopses of Synthesis tab are relevant for Synopses of Single Studies. The main difference is that a synposis of single studies critically appraises a single study; whereas the syntheses reviews are systematic reviews which consider numerous studies in their analysis.

When reviewing your search results, look for commentaries on specific types of studies (e.g. randomized controlled trials) rather than commentaries on systematic reviews.

Listed below are some additional relevant resources.
