Background:
While methods for the production of guidelines (evidence analysis, assessment, adaptation) have been continually refined throughout the past years, there is a lack of instruments for the production of easily understandable synopses.
Methods:
Definition of a methodological approach to encompass synopses by Spidernet diagrams.
Results:
Tables of synopses can be generated with distinct information to bring down the main results in one Spidernet diagram. This is possible for both the entire synopsis and parts of it.
Discussion:
Guideline comparisons require detailed analyses on the one hand and easily understandable presentations of their results on the other.
Conclusion:
Guideline synopses can be substantially supported by graphic presentation of the results of synopsis. Graphic synopsis is also helpful in other cases; it may be used, for example, to summarise HTA reports, systematic reviews or guidelines.
