Examples of reasons for withdrawing a Cochrane Review
  • Serious error in a Cochrane Review. Following the recommendations of the published review could result in harm to patients or populations of interest (other than known adverse effects); and/or the reported treatment effect is inconsistent with the real effect shown in the reported data.
  • Confirmed serious error in a Cochrane Review as a direct result of the retraction of an included study. This could occur if studies included in a Cochrane Review are retracted from publication, and an analysis shows that the removal of the retracted studies from the analyses in the Cochrane Review could lead to a serious error (defined above).
  • Scientific misconduct in the Cochrane Review. This could refer to fraud or other scientific misconduct in the preparation of the review.

  • Serious breach of Cochrane’s conflict of interest policy. A ruling by Cochrane’s Funding Arbiters that a Cochrane Review has seriously breached Cochrane’s conflict of interest policy.
