@post @freemo @feld I've heard a lot of those Cochrane reports on various topics, I've never seen one with such strong statements regarding the poor quality of the studies that they are reviewing and the lack of strong evidence. This is as close to Cochrane saying there's really nothing there and we can't say anything about it as I think I've ever seen.
I value your experience and I have no doubt it is genuine. What I am saying is that what many would consider an evidence it is not for Cochrane.
The entire pharmaceutical industry is based on weak evidence and that is why organizations like Cochrane exist.
People who comment here as if Cochrane did just another study and not a systematic review of 78 studies probably don't realize how many drugs are currently in the market without the strong evidence they are requiring now against masks.
