In MBBS, we're taught that a regular review is an expert's narrative summary, while a systematic review is a rigorous, protocol-driven synthesis of *all* available evidence, minimizing bias. Cochrane GRADE is the system they use to rate the quality of that evidence and strength of recommendations. Honestly, for our final year exams, we just mug up the conclusions of a few key Cochrane reviews—knowing the meticulous methodology is less prized than the final clinical "take-home" message. It's like knowing the perfect recipe for chai matters less to a tired resident than the hot cup itself.
