Epistemonikos https://www.epistemonikos.org/  

Epistemonikos - with over 100,000 systematic reviews – is the world's largest database of reviews. You can often access a short summary of the reviews. The reviews included in this database does not have to be systematic in their approach and does not always include Risk of Bias or evaluate how certain the evidence is. This requires a more advanced knowledge about review-methodology to be able to use the reviews in decision-making.  

Catalog of Bias https://catalogofbias.org/ 

The Catalogue of Bias Collaboration provides a comprehensive list of biases that can be present in medical research. The entries are a work in progress and describe a wide range of biases – outlining their potential impact in research studies with examples of where bias has occurred before. The aim is to better understand the persistent presence, diversity, and impact of biases.
