You can find more information about PEARLS at The Faculty of Medicine Evidence-based Medicine program site, but basically it is an activity where students are tasked with identifying a question that has arisen out of a clinical situation, formulating an answerable question, developing a search strategy and conducting a search with the aim of identifying a quality research article. They then appraise the article and present it to their staff and their peers.The EBD guide now contains links to relevant organisations which have information about evidence-based dentistry, links to University of Sydney databases whic...

The Gadget will allow readers to enter a search query and quickly come up with a range of results that will address the query, ranging from systematic reviews to articles from PubMed, which are filtered using PubMed's own Clinical Queries filters.The aim of the TRIP Database is to "...allow health professionals to easily find the highest-quality material available on the web - to help support evidence based practice"[TRIP Database: Introduction & Background]. It just might be the ideal tool for the busy clinician who needs access to a wide range of evidence-based products in a timely manner.The TRIP Database also contains a My TRIP homepage, wh...

Article abstracts which answer the clinical questions are drawn from Evidence-based Dentistry, and the articles themselves are downloadable via the University of Sydney Library Catalogue.Evidentista is produced by the Pan American Centers for Evidence-based Dentistry, in collaboration with institutions such as the Centre for Evidence-Based Dentistry, Oxford, The Forsyth Institute, Boston, Evidence-based Dentistry Journal, and The Cochrane Library, to name a few.It is a very good site, but would be further enhanced by having a searc...

It searches PubMed using its own search interface, allowing the MeSH browser to be used in order to find the most appropriate MeSH term for the search.Particularly nice is the way it allows you to frame your question, using PICO, narrowing your search down by clinical issue (treatment/diagnosis/prognosis/etiology) and search type (Broad/Focused). It is also possible to limit it to systematic reviews only, public health, and age limits (pedodontics/none).Search strategies are based upon work done at the Forsyth Institute.I have done some test searches and results are promising, especially when compared against PubMed's own Clinical Queries.
