Thanks - that's nice to hear! Meeting awesome people, and it's a real privilege.
We will have that expertise and (b) ... ....That material I talk about above is full of references and links to the discussion you mean. There...
No, that's not what I meant: I meant making my position public. Social media is a big part of my day and integral to a major part of my work, so...
Yes, we will have independent methodological experts (both for trials and systematic reviews) as members of the IAG, and we'll consult other...
Thanks, again! Point 1: no, it was a different statement by Jonathan that I discussed, and then a version of it from someone else who dropped the...
Thanks - and no worries: the misunderstandings will work themselves out. It's an inevitable process when someone from a different perspective...
Thanks! I'm really sorry to everyone who picks this up at a later point, but while I'll continue to read this thread for the long haul, I...

Yes. Although a trial's objective is supposed to be answering what it's testing, and if the intervention fails to achieve what's hoped for, the...
It wasn't an update. It's still the same version of the review - see this at the top: [ATTACH] You can't make changes without the date being...
