JAMAA Comparison of Results of Meta-analyses of Randomized Control Trials and Recommendations of Clinical Experts
1,464 Citations1992Elliott M. Antman
Finding and analyzing all therapeutic trials in a given field has become such a difficult and specialized task that the clinical experts called on to summarize the evidence in a timely fashion need access to better databases and new statistical techniques to assist them.
Seminars in PerinatologyEvidence-based medicine
1,060 Citations1997David L. Sackett
The practice of evidence-based medicine means integrating individual clinical expertise with the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research, which invalidates previously accepted diagnostic tests and treatment and replaces them with new ones that are more powerful, more accurate, more efficacious, and safer.
Journal of the American Medical Informatics AssociationDeveloping Optimal Search Strategies for Detecting Clinically Sound Studies in MEDLINE
775 Citations1994R. Brian Haynes, Nancy L Wilczynski +3 more
The retrieval of studies of important clinical topics cited in MEDLINE can be substantially enhanced by selected combinations of indexing terms and textwords.
BMJChoosing the best research design for each question
374 Citations1997David L. Sackett, John E. Wennberg
JAMAAccuracy of Data in Abstracts of Published Research Articles
299 Citations1999Roy M. Pitkin
Data in the abstract that are inconsistent with or absent from the article's body are common, even in large-circulation general medical journals, and therefore it is particularly important that the abstract reflect the article faithfully.
Annals of Internal MedicineLoose Connections between Peer-Reviewed Clinical Journals and Clinical Practice
122 Citations1990R. Brian Haynes
The ways in which peer-reviewed clinical journals contribute to the dissemination of validated advances to practitioners are examined and some solutions for both their editors and clinical readers are proposed.
Computers and Biomedical ResearchHow good are clinical MEDLINE searches? A comparative study of clinical end-user and librarian searches
111 Citations1990K. Ann McKibbon, R. Brian Haynes +6 more
The conclusion is that novice searchers on MEDLINE via GRATEFUL MED after brief training have relatively low recall and precision, and further research is needed to determine the "learning curve," evaluate training interventions, and explore the non-overlapping retrieval of relevant citations by different searchers.
Journal of General Internal MedicineCharacteristics of materials distributed by drug companies
95 Citations1996Daniel Stryer, Lisa Bero
BMJDoes zygosity influence the metabolic profile of twins? A population based cross sectional study
58 Citations1999Pernille Poulsen, Allan Vaag +1 more
Differences in glucose metabolism between monozygotic and dizygotic twins are independent of a family history of type 2 diabetes and this supports an intrauterine influence on glucose homeostasis and perhaps on insulin resistance in humans.
Annals of Internal MedicineHow to Keep Up with the Medical Literature: II. Deciding Which Journals to Read Regularly
49 Citations1986R. Brian Haynes, K. ANN McKIBBON +4 more
A preemptive strategy for clinicians to determine which journals to read on a regular basis is described, selected initially on the basis of circulation or citation impact, and then consecutive issues surveyed to determine the journals' yields of articles that are both directly relevant and of high quality.
BMJNetprints: the next phase in the evolution of biomedical publishing
49 Citations1999Tony Delamothe, Richard Smith +3 more
This week the BMJ Publishing Group and Stanford University Libraries launch clinmed.netprints.org, an electronic archive where authors can post their research into clinical medicine and health before, during, or after peer review by other agencies.
Annual Review of MedicineHow Can Physicians Keep Up-to-Date?
33 Citations1999Christine Lainé, David S. Weinberg
Physicians need to develop their own goals for staying current, systematically and periodically search the literature for high-quality material relevant to the topics on their agendas, become facile with critical appraisal of the literature, and schedule time for reading.
Annals of OncologyDo authors of review articles use systematic methods to identify, assess and synthesize information?
30 Citations1997V. Bramwell, Christopher J. Williams
Quality of reviews would improve if author, editors and readers systematically applied any of the sets of criteria now available in the literature, according to published criteria.
