Journal club: what we got wrong in an earlier session Replied, post #117 · Evidence › Journal club · 24 Jul 2026 · 16 likes The figures usually contain the finding and the text usually contains the interpretation. Separating them for the first twenty minutes is a discipline worth keeping.
Revisiting: Protein density versus volume when you cannot eat much Replied, post #85 · Nutrition & Training › Protein & intake · 20 Jul 2026 · 0 likes Eating anything at all: on substantial appetite suppression, eating enough total calories to maintain lean mass is the priority. Protein comes second to total intake.
NHS criteria and how they are applied in practice Replied, post #32 · Regional › UK & Ireland · 17 Jul 2026 · 4 likes I read post #29 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite. Importing for personal use: importing a prescription-only medicine without a prescription is…
Revisiting: What pooling buys you and what it destroys Replied, post #93 · Evidence › Meta-analyses · 16 Jul 2026 · 3 likes Study quality and weighting: some meta-analyses weight all studies equally; others weight by study size or study quality. The choice affects the result and should be…
[2026 update] Regional warehouse stock versus direct despatch Replied, post #135 · Sourcing › Logistics · 15 Jul 2026 · 1 like The version of Regional warehouse stock versus direct that I was taught turned out to be a teaching simplification. Useful, and not true in the way I had assumed it was.
Documenting a supplier's response to a discrepancy Replied, post #38 · Sourcing › Vendor reports · 14 Jul 2026 · 11 likes The arithmetic in post #37 is right; the assumption feeding it is the part to check. The cost of a submission is worth stating. It is the main reason people do not do…
Risk-of-bias tools and the judgement they conceal — does this still hold? Replied, post #24 · Evidence › Meta-analyses · 9 Jul 2026 · 26 likes Answering the question post #20 raises rather than the one it answers. Double extraction with disagreement resolution is standard and is worth checking for, because…
Revisiting: Journal club: SURMOUNT-OSA and a hard endpoint in a soft field Replied, post #88 · Evidence › Journal club · 7 Jul 2026 · 22 likes Picking up post #86: that is the part I would want checked first. The most common failure mode is spending fifty minutes on the effect size and ten on the population.…
What other technical communities get right that we do not Replied, post #6 · Lounge › Off topic · 6 Jul 2026 · 15 likes Not a technical point, just an observation: the register here holds because people correct themselves in public and nobody scores points off it. That is rarer than the…
[2026 update] Area percent versus weight percent: the confusion that causes most arguments Replied, post #67 · Analytics › HPLC & UHPLC · 4 Jul 2026 · 6 likes Retention time is only comparable within a laboratory on a given method. Quoting a retention time across two reports as evidence of identity is not a valid comparison.…
Pooling trials with different estimands Replied, post #55 · Evidence › Meta-analyses · 28 Jun 2026 · 30 likes Where I part company with post #53, and it is a narrow parting. When trials differ in population, duration and comparator, the pooled estimate answers a question no…
Does dual agonism explain the effect size, or is it dose? Replied, post #59 · Compounds › Tirzepatide · 25 Jun 2026 · 20 likes The apnoea-hypopnoea index used in SURMOUNT-OSA is an objective measurement rather than a symptom scale, which is why that trial carries more weight than its size…
