💡New free course!
We’ve developed a self-paced course to help the public better understand randomised trials – how they work, why they matter, and their role in advancing healthcare.

When Inter needed a saviour, 37yo defender Acerbi rescued them in 93rd min.
His first Euro goal.
A player who was in lower leagues until 22, twice battled cancer & hit “rock bottom” after his dad died.
“I started drinking & believe me I’d drink anything”
Now in a UCL final ❤️
Just published #JAMA Intern Med demonstrating that many #SystematicReviews of #RCTs include retracted studies and their inclusion can substantially influence results. Search for #retractions should now be standard in systematic reviews.

I was reminded this week of the importance of taking care when interpreting subgroup analysis in clinical trials and especially the helpful role the #ICEMAN tool can play in this regard. 1/8

Congratulations to Professor Shaun Treweek & team for receiving Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation funding aiming to improve clinical trial importance, design & integrity by new pre-funding peer review options, as studies show most clinical trials are 'bad': https://t.co/zUFgKfajo9
Just published @JClinEpi
We assessed how the overall quality of evidence (e.g. GRADE "moderate", "low" or "high" certainty) indicates if the future view on interventions changes.

Excited to have collaborated on the PRO-EDI tool with @Trial_Forge, @EvidSynIRL, @CochraneIreland and @CampbellReviews! 🌟 This tool enhances equity, diversity, and inclusion in systematic reviews. Check out free resources & share your feedback: https://t.co/nybV8GWztR
Just published: ground-breaking study of over 23,000 RCTs in Cochrane reviews. Trials hugely underpowered for true effects. Consequently, “statistically significant” estimates seriously overestimate actual treatment effects, can’t trust them. https://t.co/2NlKb0mB4U
Last week I said that only randomised data can give truly unbiased effect estimates - this is because observational (real-world) data are affected by #SelectionBias which can skew results. A few more thoughts on this 1/8

'People involved with the process of designing trials focus their thoughts on outcome selection, but not the practicalities of outcome collection.'
..in other words, trial teams don't think about the work collecting an outcome entails.

No Palestinian rocket can cause the carnage & mass death we saw in that hospital. Israel warned evacuation before bombing it. Officials gloated about it before denying. Shame on all media stenographers repeating Israel’s lies to deflect the perpetrator of this egregious war crime
The UK's NIHR Health Technology Assessment Programme is encouraging researchers to include SWATs evaluating alternative ways of disseminating and sharing knowledge with key evidence users.
