How often is the precise research question being addressed about an intervention stated in the reported methods?

For most trials, the specific research question being investigated could not be understood, finds new study

this is a good read, especially when thinking about the Messenger review, for everyone in health care whatever your role or what it says on your badge

there are some great replies in this about supporting each other from wherever we are and in whatever circumstances

[Kirsty Mozolowski @kmozolowski]

This definitely rings a bell and am lucky that my kids have an awesome dad who often shows up when I can't. Plus a great family/friends network to surrogate for them and some brilliant surgical mums to share the guilt at work

@weirb4 @jasonbrewster @mykidsdoc1 @TAkbar @BinitaKane @mancunianmedic @drandyknox I think it comes down to being able to tolerate ambiguity, being willing to admit you are not the expert and don't know the answer but want to help others make improvements, probably not discipline specific but some specialties support these behaviours more.

Please see our latest 'Case of the month'

If you have any doubt prior to performing surgery, (particularly if this was not listed by you as operating surgeon):

STOP, recheck & if necessary cancel or delay procedure to avoid a potential mistake

Together we remember xx

[The Bee Guy @the_beeguy]

Lots of people asking us about #bumblebees at the moment - why they’re seeing them on the ground - so here’s a quick thread to explain what they’re up to. Please share as every #queen that survives means a new colony that gets to exist & produce new queen #bees for next year! 1/7
