Association vs. Evidence

Reading a study

Association vs. Evidence, explained simply

One study is a data point. Strong evidence comes from many studies agreeing, ideally including well-run randomized trials.

Ask

Was it in humans? How many people? How big was the effect? Was it randomized? Who funded it? Has it been repeated?
