Anatomy, mechanisms and level of evidence
An anatomical structure, symptom and therapeutic mechanism are three distinct objects. The plausibility of a model does not demonstrate its clinical efficacy. The following records separate anatomical markers, interpretation of symptoms and documentary references.
Read results with method
A study should be interpreted according to population, comparator, judgement criteria, effect size, follow-up and risk of bias. A statistical difference is not necessarily noticeable for the patient. The results of one indication cannot be automatically transposed to another.
