Journal ArticleDOI

Randomized trials in oncology stopped early for benefit.

TL;DR: Had this trial been stopped early and its results used to justify an additional course of consolidation chemotherapy, subsequent patients with acute myeloid leukemia would have been exposed to a costly, potentially toxic and ineffective therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Secondary versus primary closure techniques for the prevention of postoperative complications following removal of impacted mandibular third molars: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

TL;DR: Differences between primary and secondary closure techniques after impacted mandibular third molar extraction are likely to be small and available evidence provides only low confidence in the effect estimates.
Journal ArticleDOI

A systematic review of contemporary trials of anticoagulants in orthopaedic thromboprophylaxis: suggestions for a radical reappraisal.

TL;DR: It is proposed that approaches that minimize bleeding without substantially reducing efficacy merit investigation, particularly if improvement in surgical and perioperative care have also resulted in falling baseline patient important VTE rates independent of anticoagulant use.
Journal ArticleDOI

Delays in hospital admissions in patients with fractures across 18 low-income and middle-income countries (INORMUS): a prospective observational study.
