Other articles noted

The purpose and procedure section in each issue of Evidence-BasedMedicine describes the criteria for selecting articles for inclusion.The journals read are also listed in each issue. All articlesthat meet our criteria in the reviewed journals are cited inEvidence-Based Medicine, but there is not enough space to abstractthem all. The following articles passed all criteria but werenot abstracted. Practising clinicians rated them for clinicalrelevance and newsworthiness, and the mean scores are displayed.A fuller list of articles and a sample of the rating form areavailable on the Evidence-Based Medicine web site (www.evidence-basedmedicine.com/cgi/content/full/12/2/e1).
