Take these results with a grain of salt, so to speak, at least until larger, more reliable studies are done.
The report was of course arguing that this would be to the benefit of the Dutch, but we know from previous, more reliable studies that such a measure would cause a downturn of the Dutch economy three times as high as the one caused by the bankruptcy of Lehmann Brothers.
Taken together with the null results of the more reliable studies identified above, the positive findings from these selected studies of veterans are more likely to be spurious than valid.
Moreover, the results of the pooled analyses were considered more reliable in study populations.
Even here, however, the authors stressed the need for more randomized controlled trial and the fact that the evidence supporting these results is still not strong, despite this being probably the more statistically reliable study published so far.
Despite a plethora of studies with convenience samples, only recently have more reliable epidemiological studies of prevalence estimates emerged.
Although pathway studies reflect the combinatorial outcomes of functionally related genes and are supposed to be more reliable than studies of individual genes or gene sets, the results, however, were generated only from B16F1 melanoma cell line.
Systematic reviewing of laboratory data is expected to result in better, bigger and more reliable primary studies, which hopefully will support the diffusion of new diagnostic technologies with scientifically proven efficacy and effectiveness in the future.
