Outline
• Evidence-based medicine• Appraisal of published trials• The anatomy of a journal

Four steps to evidence-based practice
1. Ask a clinical question2. Search for evidence3. Critically appraise the evidence4. Integrate the evidence into practice

Appraisal of published studies

‘Is this paper any good?’
1. Validity2. Applicability3. Logical flow

Validity: bias and distortion

Editorials
• ‘Rarely contain primary data’• Help interpret research and promote its use in
practice• Promote discussion • Offer ‘authoritative’ opinion
![Page 22: Evidence into Practice: how to read a paper Rob Sneyd (with help from...Andrew F. Smith, Lancaster, UK)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5514028a550346e7488b498a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

What are review articles for?
• Answering clinical questions• Keeping up to date• Starting-point for future research• Assimilating primary research
![Page 24: Evidence into Practice: how to read a paper Rob Sneyd (with help from...Andrew F. Smith, Lancaster, UK)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5514028a550346e7488b498a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Systematic review
‘A review in which evidence on a topic has been systematically identified, appraised and summarised according to predetermined criteria’
![Page 25: Evidence into Practice: how to read a paper Rob Sneyd (with help from...Andrew F. Smith, Lancaster, UK)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5514028a550346e7488b498a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Systematic review
1. Decide scope and purpose2. Exhaustive search for material3. Inclusion on pre-defined criteria4. Quality assessment of relevant studies5. Data extraction6. Synthesis and integration7. Interpretation

Case reports
• Focus on individuals rather than populations• Narrative power• Archive of collective experience• Sensitive to novelty: new benefits,
complications, the unknown and unrecognised

Correspondence
• ‘The proper dialogue of science’• Extend journals’ peer review by readers’
comments, corrections and interpretation• Not usually peer reviewed• Under-rated and poorly indexed
![Page 30: Evidence into Practice: how to read a paper Rob Sneyd (with help from...Andrew F. Smith, Lancaster, UK)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5514028a550346e7488b498a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Conclusion
• Simple non-statistical principles can help make sense of research
• Evidence and opinion both have their place but should not be confused
• Bias is everywhere and must be taken into account
• Critical appraisal helps us identify good evidence
