We can always try to improve how we conduct trials and how we ensure that the most important people have a say in how they are designed and run. For the AD-SMART platform and #dementia research, Ben Underwood is doing just that with POPPED. Please take a look at www.popped.org.uk and do share!

A growing problem --- fake papers polluting systematic reviews. And interesting point that the gold-standard protocols that Cochrane is developing to weed out untrustworthy studies, are too much of an effort for systematic-review authors looking at 100s of papers. www.science.org/content/arti...

‘Systematic reviews’ that aim to extract broad conclusions from many studies are in peril
