Medical Study Results Questioned

Third of study results don't hold up, cnn.com

in a review of major studies published in three influential medical journals between 1990 and 2003, including 45 highly publicized studies that initially claimed a drug or other treatment worked.

Subsequent research contradicted results of seven studies -- 16 percent -- and reported weaker results for seven others, an additional 16 percent.


The scientific community will gain once the barriers to the flow of knowledge created by subscription sites. We would link to the actual study but it is not available - it is behind a subscription wall. . Support the adoption of the Public Library of Science and the Public Library of Medicine.
