Den gode historie, fængende overskrift og skarpe vinkel behøver måske ikke være et ja/nej-resultat, men kan også være historien bag forskningen, nuancer ved metoden, den større sammenhæng og meget andet (alt det, som gør det sjovt for os forskere, når vi går i dybden med vores felt).

4/5

- Kontekst: Hvordan står resultatet ift. gældende teori? Og anden forskning?
- Interessekonflikter: Finansieret af part med interesse i bestemt resultat?
- Perspektiv: Kan studiet kombineret med hidtidige viden begrunde ændret praksis - eller hvordan kommer vi videre med yderligere forskning?

3/5
davidlaursen.bsky.social
- Emne: Mennesker eller celler/dyr?
- Design: Lodtrækningsforsøg eller observationelt studie, fx registerforskning?
- Analyse: Planlagt hovedanalyse eller udforskende ekstraanalyse?
- Præcision: Usikkerhedsintervaller smalle eller brede?

I forlængelse af sagen om SDU's pressemeddelelser - hermed lidt uformelle og inkomplette strøtanker til, når man skriver eller fortolker pressemeddelelser og anden videnskabelig kommunikation:

Last chance to participate - this will close on Sunday pm UK time. These results will be used to formulate guidance on demonstrating promise of an intervention when applying for funding for an RCT, pilot, or feasibility trial.

How to demonstrate ‘promise of the intervention’ ahead of an RCT of the intervention? If you’d like to participate in the final round of the Promise Delphi, even if you didn’t do Round 1, then get in touch!

Hvad er #placebo? Hvor stor er placeboeffekten? Hvad gør man hvis blindede forsøgsdeltagere alligevel kan gætte deres behandling?

Asbjørn Hróbjartsson og jeg er inviteret med i studiet hos Andreas Hoff for - måske - at komme nærmere på svarene på disse spørgsmål.

Funders expect evidence of 'promise' (the intervention is likely to work) when considering whether to fund an RCT, pilot, or feasibility study. But there is no shared understanding of how we should do this. We have been funded by @nihr.bsky.social to develop guidance to help.

Censor CDC scientists and ask them to withdraw papers from medical journals?
