Nice thread on comical “science” in a real journal (with the upside of showing how small n when there’s plenty of data is an easy warning sign)

Awesome review on bad science published in a top journal. Teachable moment on what sample size means, too. Thx.
This is a great example on how the controls you use matter, and how taking a look at “the big picture” post-analysis (I.e., robustness checks) can be critical. This kind of examination requires time and good planning in advance but can save you from spurio

Fantastic thread. Another example of how, in an age where we stress evidence-based medicine, we are being constantly misled with bad data and being failed by medical journals who would rather publish headline grabbing articles regardless of their flaws. #e
