The idea

Cochrane observed that trials of a therapy given during premature labour had never been compiled into a systematic review, and that when they were, the therapy substantially reduced the odds of premature infant death.

In practice

Evidence that already existed, unassembled, while outcomes stayed unchanged.

Where people slip

The evidence was not missing. It was uncollected, which is a different failure and a more correctable one.
