The clinician and the medical literature: When can we take a shortcut?
2000, Annals of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :One diagnosis study was excluded from consideration because the study population was confined largely to patients with positive findings at surgery.29 One therapy study was considered but dismissed because only 56% of patients were followed to the point that the study outcomes could be determined.34 The process of planning an EBEM installment encompasses several measures aimed at compensating for the methodologic limitations.
Topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for corneal abrasions: Meta-analysis of randomized trials
2005, Academic Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :The first article utilized a search of MEDLINE for RCTs, and the second article expanded the search to include the Cochrane Library and ACP Journal Club. The first review identified four of the 11 trials included in the present systematic literature review, and these authors of the review30 evaluated two of them using the User's Guide to the Literature series32 to assess validity. There was no pooling of data.
