This should be mandatory reading in med school. I knew most of the figures and facts - after doing a PhD for 4 years and getting lots of education on publication bias and open science - but it is essential that every doctor is aware of this.
I once had to give a talk on a new guideline that pushed a very expensive drug. The guideline based itself on one meta analysis, and it sucked. But my audience thought I was being too nitpicky. It's now years later and I want to look up how much money my audience got from pharma 😂
