How to facilitate SRs:
moving towards evidence-based
translational research
Dr Marlies Leenaars

Added value of systematic reviews of animal studies
Get an overview of existing knowledge
Help design a clinical trial (patient safety)
Collaboration between disciplines
Transparency in (quality of) all primary studies
Facilitate translational research Get an idea of missing „inconclusive‟ data
Prevent unnecessary animals studies
New results without using animals

Pound et al BMJ 2004, Where is the evidence that animal research benefits humans? 'Conclusion: The contribution of animal studies to clinical medicine requires urgent formal evaluation. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of the existing animal experiments would represent an important step forward in this process’
![Page 4: SYRCLE_Leenaars mini symposium sr animal studies 30082012](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030301/587e66ec1a28ab2a538b71f9/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Performing SR of animal studies results in:
A valuable publication in a peer reviewed journal (Hooijmans, J of Alz Dis; van Drongelen, Am J Phys; Wever, PlosOne)
(Impact factor: 3.7 - 4.1)
Costs:
Systematic review:
-Computer
-Time
Rough estimate:
€ 20.000
Animal experiment:
-Computer
-Time
-Animals, housing, materials, etc.
-Analyses of samples
etc
Rough estimate:
€ 100.000

SYRCLE
Since 2008 our research group facilitates:
implementation of SR of animal studies
Education on SRs
Developing methodology for SRs (tools)
Executing SRs
(Inter)national collaboration
![Page 6: SYRCLE_Leenaars mini symposium sr animal studies 30082012](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030301/587e66ec1a28ab2a538b71f9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Implementation of SRs:
Education:
Increase awareness of potential of concept of SRs
Improve skills in performing SRs
Developing tools and guidelines:
Facilitate performing SRs
Ease the process

“If you take a closer look, you see more”

Increase awareness
Education for future animal researchers
Since 2009: education on SRs in course on Laboratory
Animal Science (obligatory 2 weeks course)
o Lecture on SRs
o Workshop on: „comprehensive search strategies‟
Quote of student: “This is
so logical. Why is this not
common practice in animal
research?”

Education to improve (skills in) performing SRs
• Since 2010; 1 EC = 1 week
• In curriculum of Biomedical Sciences MSc. students
Main objectives:
- Improve skills in performing SRs
- Critical appraisal of animal data
- Increase knowledge: move towards
evidence-based translational research
* internal validity
* external validity

Student evaluations
Score January 2012: 8.3
Question: Was this topic relevant for you?

studies and published papers”
“Never done this in another course. Very relevant not
only for animal studies but also for clinical studies”
“SRs could be very helpful in all majors”

Topic: Thank you and I‟m using the articles and guides and
support materials from SYRCLE
“.. It reaffirmed my faith that it is possible to do
much more, now that your group has provided
the Why and Hows, validated by researchers
who use animals.”
