TL;DR
It is suggested that clinical discovery and patient-oriented research have become less common and each representing the flip side of an inaccurate view of how clinical advance occurs are interdependent.
Abstract
Medical research today is dominated by a genocentric point of view. At the same time, clinical discovery and patient-oriented research have become less common. Here, I suggest that these developments are interdependent, each representing the flip side of an inaccurate view of how clinical advance occurs.

5,500 Citations1984Barry J. Marshall, J.Robin Warren
The bacteria were present in almost all patients with active chronic gastritis, duodenal ulcer, or gastric ulcer and thus may be an important factor in the aetiology of these diseases.

1,371 Citations1974John A. Parrish, Thomas B. Fitzpatrick +2 more
Oral administration of a photoactive drug, 8-methoxypsoralen (methoxsalen), followed by exposure to a high-intensity, longwave ultraviolet-light system resulted in complete clearing of generalized psoriasis in 21 patients.
The LancetAn overview of clinical research: the lay of the land
712 Citations2002David A. Grimes, Kenneth F. Schulz
A primer of clinical research is provided for clinicians and researchers alike, based on whether the investigator assigns the exposures or not, and measures of association are the preferred way of expressing results of dichotomous outcomes.
New England Journal of MedicineIs Academic Medicine for Sale?
589 Citations2000Marcia Angell
In 1984 the Journal became the first of the major medical journals to require authors of original research articles to disclose any financial ties with companies that make products discussed in papers submitted to us, and the article by Keller et al. provides a striking example.

522 Citations1979Gary L. Peck, Thomas G. Olsen +6 more
Clinical toxicity was limited to the skin and mucous membranes in most patients and was dose dependent and rapidly reversible upon discontinuation of therapy; the mechanism of action of 13-cis-retinoic acid in the therapy of acne probably involves a direct inhibitory effect of the drug on the sebaceous gland.
