As AI becomes embedded in clinical workflows, RCTs must accommodate ongoing monitoring & updates. The key is to clarify between ‘monitoring as part of the conduct of the trial’ and ‘monitoring and updating as part of the intervention’

Finding time for #PeerReview can be challenging.⏰

Here are three strategies to help manage your time:

1️⃣ Treat peer review like any other priority by blocking dedicated time on your calendar each month, so you are prepared when invitations arrive.
2️⃣ When an invitation comes, make a prompt, clear decision—either accept or decline—to prevent it from lingering on your to-do list.
3️⃣ If you accept, maximize the experience by using each review as an opportunity to learn something new, whether it is a study design, method, or emerging topic in your field.

📝 What constitutes a strong #PeerReview? Start with the essentials.

📌 Comments to editors should address overarching issues: Is the study scientifically credible and relevant to the field or journal audience?
📌 Succinct, high-level insights assist editors in decision-making, while detailed suggestions are best included in your comments to the authors.

Outcome switching and inadequate outcome prespecification were common in cohort studies of interventions, finds study.

Most changes were unexplained and favoured statistically significant results, raising concerns about potential selective reporting
