Another interesting tidbit is that Evidence Based Medicine, what we've come to known as randomized controlled trials with systematic reviews, is /much/ younger than people think. The movement properly started in the 1960s, but only came to fruition after Archie Cochrane (1970s). Still Evidence Based Practice is a contested thing, and very few systematic reviews eventually end up informing policy.
