Cochrane is an important potential ally to EA. I'm technically a Cochrane author after being part of a team that submitted a review protocol, though I haven't been closely following their work over the past couple of years. Cochrane has traditionally been strong on evidence-based medicine and treatments, i.e., drugs. They have expanded in recent years to cover other important topics as well.
The general public may be able to participate through various crowdsourcing efforts managed by Cochrane. A quick summary of those ways to get involved is here: https://www.cochrane.org/join-cochrane
The Cochrane Handbook is a great resource on evaluating research evidence and conducting systematic reviews. It is available online: https://training.cochrane.org/handbook
