Systematic reviews are the highest level of evidence and the main tool for resolving clinical uncertainties(1). However, due to their characteristics, their quick and easy application(2) presents disadvantages. That is why new formats have been created, comprising the structured summaries of systematic reviews, including the Friendly Summary Of The Body Of Evidence (FRISBEE) (4). The process of elaboration of a FRISBEE begins, like any search of evidence, with the approach of a structured and specific clinical question and the development of a search in the Epistemonikos database that will yield all the pertinent systematic reviews. Of these, those that answer the clinical question should be selected and, based on them, the primary studies will be analyzed to get a global result of the evidence, its degree of certainty, conclusions and key messages in this regard. The final result is a summary of the evidence related to a specific question that includes the information contained in all published systematic reviews. Its usefulness and importance is determined because it facilitates the clinical applicability of the evidence, decreasing the reading complexity and incorporating practical aspects for both the clinician and the patient.
