A review of high impact journals found that misinterpretation of non-statistically significant results from randomized trials was common

Karla Hemming et al.

Summary: The study reveals that in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with non-statistically significant primary outcomes, the conclusions are often presented in the abstract as evidence of no impact or ambiguously as not statistically significant, without giving due attention to values supported by the confidence interval.

Effect of Long-term Supplementation With Marine Omega-3 Fatty Acids vs Placebo on Risk of Depression or Clinically Relevant Depressive Symptoms and on Change in Mood Scores A Randomized Clinical Trial

Olivia Okereke et al.

Summary: The study found that long-term supplementation with marine omega-3 fatty acids led to a small but statistically significant increase in the risk of depression or clinically relevant depressive symptoms. However, it did not show any significant difference in mood scores.

Effect of a Pulmonary Embolism Diagnostic Strategy on Clinical Outcomes in Patients Hospitalized for COPD Exacerbation A Randomized Clinical Trial

David Jimenez et al.

Summary: The study on whether active search for pulmonary embolism improves outcomes in COPD patients hospitalized for exacerbations found that the addition of an active diagnostic strategy did not significantly enhance a composite set of health outcomes.

Reducing surgical site infections in low-income and middle-income countries (FALCON): a pragmatic, multicentre, stratified, randomised controlled trial

Summary: A trial conducted in low-income and middle-income countries did not demonstrate benefits of 2% alcoholic chlorhexidine skin preparation compared with povidone-iodine, or triclosan-coated sutures compared with non-coated sutures, in preventing surgical site infections in cleancontaminated or contaminated or dirty surgical wounds. Both interventions are more costly than alternatives, and these results do not endorse routine use.

Effect of Celecoxib vs Placebo Added to Standard Adjuvant Therapy on Disease-Free Survival Among Patients With Stage III Colon Cancer The CALGB/SWOG 80702 (Alliance) Randomized Clinical Trial

Jeffrey A. Meyerhardt et al.

Summary: Adding celecoxib to standard adjuvant chemotherapy did not significantly improve disease-free survival among patients with stage III colon cancer. This study investigated the impact of adding celecoxib to standard adjuvant chemotherapy on disease-free survival in patients treated for stage III colon cancer.

Effect of Marine Omega-3 Fatty Acid and Vitamin D Supplementation on Incident Atrial Fibrillation: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Christine M. Albert et al.

Summary: The study showed that marine omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D-3 supplementation did not have a significant effect on preventing atrial fibrillation. The findings do not support the use of these supplements for primary prevention of incident AF.

How to use likelihood ratios to interpret evidence from randomized trials

Thomas Perneger

Summary: The likelihood ratio is a method for comparing evidence between two simple statistical hypotheses, providing a straightforward way to assess the support for each hypothesis based on data.

Vaccine Efficacy of ALVAC-HIV and Bivalent Subtype C gp120-MF59 in Adults

Glenda E. Gray et al.

Summary: The ALVAC-gp120 vaccine regimen did not prevent HIV-1 infection among participants in South Africa, despite previous evidence of immunogenicity. This phase 2b-3 trial showed that further vaccinations were halted due to lack of efficacy in preventing HIV-1 infection.

Progressive exercise compared with best practice advice, with or without corticosteroid injection, for the treatment of patients with rotator cuff disorders (GRASP): a multicentre, pragmatic, 2 x 2 factorial, randomised controlled trial

Sally Hopewell et al.

Summary: This study compared the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a progressive exercise programme with physiotherapy advice for rotator cuff disorders, and found no significant difference in improvement over 12 months. Additionally, corticosteroid injections did not provide any long-term benefits to patients with rotator cuff disorders.

Haemodynamic-guided management of heart failure (GUIDE-HF): a randomised controlled trial

JoAnn Lindenfeld et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate whether haemodynamic-guided management of heart failure is applicable to patients with different severity of symptoms (NYHA functional class II-IV). The overall study analysis showed that haemodynamic-guided management did not reduce the mortality rate and heart failure events in heart failure patients. However, a pre-COVID-19 impact analysis suggested a potential benefit of haemodynamic-guided management for heart failure patients, primarily by lowering the heart failure hospitalisation rate.
