Blinded interpretation of study results can feasibly and effectively diminish interpretation bias.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe two applications of an approach that involves blinded interpretation of the results by study investigators, which may decrease the frequency of misleading data interpretation in randomized controlled trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Randomized trials versus observational studies in adolescent pregnancy prevention.

TL;DR: Observational studies yield systematically greater estimates of treatment effects than randomized trials of adolescent pregnancy prevention interventions and public policy or individual patient treatment decisions should be based on observational studies only when randomized trials are unavailable.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clopidogrel plus aspirin versus aspirin alone for acute minor ischaemic stroke or high risk transient ischaemic attack: systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: Dual antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel and aspirin given within 24 hours after high risk TIA or minor ischaemic stroke reduces subsequent stroke by about 20 in 1000 population, with a possible increase in moderate to severe bleeding of 2 per 1000 population.
Journal ArticleDOI

GRADE approach to drawing conclusions from a network meta-analysis using a minimally contextualised framework

TL;DR: The guidance uses a minimally contextualised approach that avoids value judgments regarding the magnitude of intervention effects and is simple, methodologically sound, and flexible, allowing for modifications to resolve situations in which additional complexity or value judgments might be appropriate.
