20 years of journal volumes to be found in their database of systematic reviews of medical practices, several thousand articles by my superficial count

As of 2019, their impact factor is 7.890, 10th among all top medical journals (out of 165), 5 year impact factor of 7.974. Even a non-medical like me have heard of them described as the premier journal for medical reviews, and a role model for other disciplines looking to reproduce the same success in reviewing research findings around a particular topic.

Does the country you’re posting from block access to search engines? This took less than 3 minutes of search. If you can’t web search because of censorship, how can you post on HN? And if you only have 11 karma, as it seems from your username, why aren’t you showing up as a green font? I’m puzzled, dang.
