Research Digests 1 article

Research Digests translate individual studies or defined bodies of research into concise, critical summaries without treating publication as proof of clinical importance. A useful digest identifies the question, design, sample, intervention or exposure, comparator, outcomes and effect estimates, then explains uncertainty, limitations, funding and applicability. Clinical significance should be separated from statistical significance, and one study should be placed in the wider evidence context. Its purpose is critical interpretation of research for readers, not a systematic review and not an abstract reproduced in simpler language.
