Note that this will only work where you have institutional access to the Cochrane library. I only recommend using this tool in the UK where copyright law has recently changed to allow downloading of academic data for non-commercial research purposes. See [here](http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2014/1372/regulation/3/made) (section 29A) and [here](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/changes-to-copyright-law) for further information about the law change.
