| Doubts Cast On Credibility Of Some Published Clinical Trials
Quote: Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) are considered the 'gold standard' research method for assessing new medical treatments. But research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Trials shows that the design of a remarkable 93 percent of 2235 so-called RCTs published in some Chinese medical journals during 1994 to 2005 was flawed, casting doubt on the reliability of research that is likely to influence medical decision-makers. Of course, the fact they they from China didn't raise flags in the first place? http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0702184146.htm
