This book provides practical guidelines on how to make sense of and interpret the evidence that is available, with information on how to avoid straying beyond evidence into conjecture, supposition, and wishful thinking.

Dr Andrew Moore was educated at Balliol College, Oxford, as a biochemist, and has worked in the NHS, in industry, and in acadaemia.
For 10 years he has been editor of the EBM bulletin Bandolier, and oversees its large and successful Internet site, which now has up to three million visits each week. He has worked in pain research for a quarter of a century.
Andrew's main research interests involve methods of systematic review and meta-analysis, and he us involved with many systematic reviews as well as helping develop new and better understanding. He is the author of over 350 scientific papers, and about 100 papers on EBM. Professor Henry McQuay's research interests have included bench studies of analgesics, primary clinical trials of analgesic interventions and latterly using systematic review techniques to work out a relatively efficacy and safety of analgesics. He has published many articles and books about pain matters.
