A trusted source of quality information is the Cochrane Library. Reviews
provided through the library have been vetted by expert panels as being
objective and systematic and a fair interpretation of all the available
evidence for a particular intervention (or intervention for a particular
disease or condition). Reviews are updated periodically as further
research is published and the confidence in any conclusions regarding
intervention efficacy grows (or diminishes). These are perhaps the most
relevant reviews to date:
