The response surfaces are directly used in the formulation of the performance functions (Eqs. (3, 7, 29)) instead of the outcome of the finite element simulations.
Potential sources of indirectness included a study population or intervention/exposure that was so different from that of interest that there was a compelling reason to think that the magnitude of effect would differ substantially, or studies that reported on surrogate end points instead of the outcome of interest.
Furthermore, our main results were similar to those found in the subgroups of trials with low risk of bias, in trials using multiple sessions of experienced acupuncturists choosing acupuncture points at their discretion, and when we analysed the primary outcomes of the trials (instead of the outcome we had chosen).

While we assert that the current narrow outcome definitions in the treatment of depression present only the view of the medical field instead of the outcomes that matter most to patients, there is presently a paucity of published data on patients' views of what constitutes a good outcome in depression [ 13, 10].
More important, it allows the complex work of restoration to begin quickly instead of awaiting the outcome of a long scientific and legal process.
Instead of emphasizing the outcome of our actions, we must focus on cultivating the qualities we need to overcome our challenges.
This is a good team gone bad because it thought it was better than it was and showed up for too many games thinking it would win them instead of dictating the outcome.
