Conflict of interest statement

Competing interests: We have read and understood BMJ policy on declaration of interests and declare that all authors have both academic and financial conflicts of interest that inform this manifesto. Academically, all of the authors believe that improving the quality of evidence, its transparency, involving patients, and improving the communication of research is essential for providing informed treatment decisions. Financially, the BMJ and the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine run a non-profit conference (Evidence Live) together that focuses on better evidence for better health. Our respective institutions are involved in research, education, and publishing in many of the areas outlined in the manifesto. In addition, individually we do media work, books, training events, and talks. We consider all of these conflicts may have biased our opinions and therefore have sought a wide range of input to offset our preconceptions.
