Although the idea of comparing studies is a good idea, the way that this group of researchers evaluated only a small subset of all studies showed an initial and ongoing bias, as you shall soon see... First, it is important to know that the leader of this review of homeopathic research is A. Shang's boss (and co-author of this article) M. Eggers, a vocal noted skeptic of homeopathy.
This study evaluated only a small subset of possible designs to initiate a pre-breeding program with a preselected subset of scenarios proposed within SeeD.
However, this procedure evaluates only a small portion of the node, and studies have shown that serial sectioning and immunohistochemistry increase the sensitivity of detection of metastatic disease.
These studies evaluated only a small number of selected subjects, so a larger number of unselected subjects in daily medical practice appear necessary for the evaluation of the clinical implication of radiologically visualized postpuncture CSF leakages.
Only two other studies, one in Mexico (Calderon et al. 2001) and the other in Taiwan (Tsai et al. 2003), have established tentative adverse associations between As exposure and children's intellectual function although both studies evaluated only a small number of subjects (n < 100).
The comparison study in this paper evaluates only a small aspect of the issues related to determining primary diagnoses from computer screens, focusing on observer variability in IHC stain evaluation, for specific IHC tasks, performed on whole slides and TMAs and analyzed using continuous and categorical data, and different agreement metrics.
Dennis et al. showed the combination of granisetron and aprepitant being safe and efficacious for the prophylaxis of RINV in single and multiple fraction moderately emetogenic radiotherapy for thoracolumbar bone metastases evaluating only a very small sample size with 19 patients [ 26].
This method is a very sophisticated tool to screen a large number of clinical specimens, but it might obscure essential findings by evaluating only small punched random samples from morphologically representative tissue areas.
With the exception of the study by Link et al. [ 59], these studies have evaluated only relatively small numbers of patients [ 60, 61].
All of the procedures have been evaluated only on small samples: 12 dementia patients for the DAFS, 28 for the DAFA, and 22 27 for the TEFA.
