Wagoner, B. et al. (2004) 'Guide to Research Methods: The Evidence Pyramid', in SUNY Downstate Medical Center: EBM Tutorial,
formerly available at: http://library.downstate.edu/EBM2/2100.htm
The Evidence Pyramid is an easy way to visualize levels of evidence for types of research articles. At the base is animal research and expert opinion. These are still important, but are low in the evidence-based hierarchy.
The next step up, from case reports to randomized control trials, is unfiltered evidence. These are individual reports and studies, also known as the primary literature.
At the top of the pyramid, representing the strongest evidence, is filtered evidence. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are literature reviews that analyze multiple research studies. Clinical Practice Guidelines can be added to this list of secondary literature.
When doing evidence-based research, seek the highest level of evidence available. Just remember that the top levels may not be available for your particular clinical question. In that case, seek the next level down!
