Oh boy, it seems that 32 years after the foundation of #Cochrane, there is still a lot of awareness-raising to be done. #statsky
Because primary research/data requires the authors to also produce the data (i.e. do the experiments, work with the patients, etc). That requires expertise, downloading data and putting it through a template, not so much.

A personal story on diagnostic test accuracy. You should read it. (the answer to the personal story is in the comments of the original post)
One year ago I got Some Medical News. Writing down *why* I was so scared seemed the rational thing to do at the time. It helped, a bit, and a year later I'm ready to share it with you. Part personal history, part exoplanet lesson, all me.
But you have to read it without knowing the answer.

How can you rationalize daunting medical news when you understand statistics too well? When your professional and personal worlds collide?

I really dislike how science has started calling almost any fancy computational technique AI. 🧪
The framing of this entire article makes it sound like a benevolent AI independently made these drugs.
That is *pure fantasy*.
Instead: a team of scientists made a machine learning model for a study.
