Data were obtained from analysis of original research articles in Nature Medicine, vol. 10, nos. 1–6, and The New England Journal of Medicine, vol. 350, nos. 1–26.

Furthermore, findings indicated that statistical errors occurred in a considerable proportion of articles, although they were not always serious in nature. Findings imply a need to pay closer attention to statistical methodology in order to raise standards. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
