As always, Smith-Petersen advised caution, "Sufficient time has not elapsed to obtain true end results, but the author feels justified in rendering this preliminary report because the method is non-destructive and seems effective in relieving pain in conditions for which there is no other adequate treatment".

This choice was made in close consultation with the local expert team guiding this study, given that boys' responses might be highly influenced by taboos regarding the sexual violation of boys, rendering this method (self-report measures in a class-room setting) less applicable for boys.
However, significant side effects of this combined therapy have been reported rendering this regimen potentially problematic.
As the judges who rejected such challenges by Robert Maxwell four decades ago realised, that would amount to censorship by a thousand cuts – never mind rendering the report, when it eventually appeared, of merely academic interest.
It is not clear that higher-than-average levels of physical functioning can be measured with a unidimensional scale; persons who achieve higher-than-average levels of physical functioning may do so in a variety of ways (e.g., running long distances, participating in a variety of exercises, like biking, running, and hiking), rendering the reported data about their performance multidimensional.
Human rights advocates say that allowing political considerations to skew the human trafficking report could render the report less effective in the future.
But the news that the economy had produced no job growth whatsoever in August, and moreover that job growth in both June and July was actually a good deal less than originally reported, rendered this half-step approach untenable and with it, the fiction that in making monetary policy the Federal Reserve is mostly focused on reducing and then containing inflation.
The small sample size here led to render results of this report vulnerable to observing "significant" findings purely due to chance and the 95% confidence intervals of the relative risk estimate (2 to 17)[ 18] is extremely wide, casting doubts about the reproducibility of the finding[ 19].
While we attempted to verify the strength of these findings using standardized quality assessment tools [ 33], the heterogeneity of the data sources, quality of reporting, and methodologies used rendered this process ineffective.
Furthermore, the sample sizes were somewhat limited, which influences the precision of observations and, therefore, renders the reported 95% CIs wider than otherwise would have been the case.
