Cochrane Nutrition held a stakeholder meeting on 3 April 2017 in Geneva with the aim of developing an initial list of priority topics for nutrition evidence synthesis. This will help Cochrane Nutrition establish a strategic plan to guide review production and dissemination; build and support review teams; and, strengthen methods for synthesising nutrition evidence over the next three years. The consultation involved representatives from various stakeholder groups within and outside of Cochrane with an interest in nutrition evidence synthesis.
