Patients with obesity or type 2 diabetes at the end of a multidisciplinary lifestyle intervention, in which exercise was a core element, report an improvement in their relationship with themselves and with others (32)—a distinctive result not achievable with pharmacological therapy.
He was not alone, however, in feeling that the core report ended up being more a description of how the crisis unfolded than an explanation of why it erupted.There were squabbles over process as well as substance.
6 Unlike most Cochrane reviews, this review was based only on core reports, 6 and risk of bias assessments were therefore based on each core report.
Risk of bias previously assessed as 'unclear' based on core reports became a more certain 'low' or 'high' risk of bias.
6 In that review, risk of bias was assessed by an external reviewer on the basis of data extracted from core reports.
Almost 80% of Roche's Tamiflu clinical data has been published as primary publications or made available to the scientific community on the web as complete core reports.
Do full clinical study reports change the risk of bias evaluation compared to core reports?
Do core reports change the risk of bias evaluation compared to published papers?
Core reports and full clinical study reports theoretically can help reduce uncertainty in judging risk of bias.
