The Cochrane Library

“The lack of medical publications not subject to the influence of the labs is problematic”, launches Luc Perino, regretting that research sometimes yields to the sirens of the pharmaceutical lobbies. For him, there are few trustworthy journals: on the French side, the monthly Prescrire; on the British side, the British Medical Journal and “a little” The Lancet, whose reputation was however tarnished in 2020 by the publication of a controversial study on hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of Covid, which was finally withdrawn. Doctors therefore rely more readily on the Cochrane Library, whose journals are compiled by the international network of the same name, independent and non-profit. A model “free from conflicts of interest” which, according to him, would benefit from being developed.
