| Summary of Findings | From the included sample of 98 systematic reviews, 51% of non-Cochrane reviews and 90% of Cochrane overviews had included at least one systematic review with dual co-authorship (reviewers who authored included studies). Higher quality scores were given to reviews in systematic overviews where dual co-authorship was present for both Cochrane and non-Cochrane reviews. |
