Fig. 2 shows an example of the trial sequence.
The experiment required manipulation of colors, angles, or both colors and angles in WM. Figure 1 shows an example of the trial sequence.
For example, some of the trials applied flexible dose regimens (including 1 duloxetine trial) while others applied fixed dose regimens; this could impact comparative results.
For example, most of the trials are single-centre studies with small sample sizes and include heterogeneous groups of patients with different aetiologies and degrees of severity.
For example, none of the trials of tuina or qigong reported the use of a placebo/sham control, while a sham control was used in almost half of the acupuncture trials (44.8%).
For example, most of the trials that focussed on dietary change were not particularly explicit as to what advice was given (eg. choice of diet) or who provided it (eg. a physician or nurse).
It's a classic example of the unexpected trials and delights you find when making theatre for community spaces rather than theatres.
There is no mention, for example, of the STAR trial, which is one of the largest breast cancer preventive studies ever, examining the comparative effectiveness of tamoxifen and raloxifene.
As an example of this trial and error procedure, the finding of an optimal time for measurement of cell kinetics in Jurkat cells is described in this paper.
Some examples of the 35 trials classified as "dubious" were: a lamotrigine vs. placebo trial that concluded the active drug "is associated with superior efficacy" although this was true for some but not all analyses [40]; and a trial comparing acetophenazine vs. diazepam in anxious depression that reported several comparisons and was not able to conclude which one was better [41].
For example, in one of the trials, the subject is asked to match the target camel to 1 of 4 types of vegetation: Tree, sunflower, cactus (the correct response), or rose.
