Twitter journal club–update

The first ever* Twitter journal club (Monday’s NS) was a huge success. Natalie Silvey has now posted a summary of last Sunday’s chat.

She draws out five headline discussion points:

  1. Randomized control trials and the issue of written informed consent
  2. Methodology, particularly blinding
  3. The importance of a (misleading) headline result
  4. The effect of single-centre studies on impact
  5. Real-life clinical impact

Please do read Natalie’s post in full, and watch out for the #TwitJC this Sunday evening (UK time).


* as far as we know…
