科克伦协作网建立了一个集中的对照试验和其他医疗干预研究数据库（称为CENTRAL），为所有准备和维护系统评价或以其他方式搜索试验的人提供最佳可用资源。CENTRAL可在科克伦图书馆获得。本文介绍了CENTRAL的发展历史和方法，以及对CENTRAL当前组成的分析结果。截至2000年9月，CENTRAL收录了近300，000篇对试验报告的引用，主要来自世界各地的科克伦研究组和中心。CENTRAL的开发是一项雄心勃勃的学术事业，并产生了宝贵的资源：CENTRAL包括可能未在MEDLINE、EMBASE或其他书目数据库中索引的对照试验引文;以多种语言在国际上发表的引文;以及仅在会议记录或其他难以访问的来源中提供的引文。
The Cochrane Collaboration has established a centralized database of controlled trials and other studies of health care interventions (called CENTRAL) that serves as the best available resource for all those preparing and maintaining systematic reviews or otherwise searching for trials. CENTRAL is available on The Cochrane Library. This article describes the history and methods of CENTRAL's development and the results of an analysis of the current composition of CENTRAL. As of September 2000, CENTRAL contained almost 300,000 citations to reports of trials, contributed mainly, by Cochrane Groups and Centers around the world. Development of CENTRAL has been an ambitious, scholarly undertaking and has resulted in a valuable resource: CENTRAL includes citations to controlled trials that may not be indexed in MEDLINE, EMBASE, or other bibliographic databases; citations published internationally in many languages; and citations that are available only in conference proceedings or other hard-to-access sources.
