Description Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) is a database of definitive controlled trials and was created as part of an international effort to create an unbiased source of data for systematic reviews. It consists of over 350,000 bibliographic references (indexing and abstracts) to controlled trials in health care, and imposes quality control standards on included references to ensure that only reports of definite randomized controlled trials or controlled clinical trials are included.

Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials uses a search interface called OVID. To find out more on effectively using this search interface, try OVID's online help.
