摘要
We discuss the concept of the critically appraised topic (CAT). A CAT is an instrument that summarizes and condenses the process through which a clinical question leads to a literature search; selection of relevant primary studies; appraisal of the studies' validity, results, and applicability; and the reviewer's conclusions.
