Observed data should be described correctly: for example, "the two groups had similar mean values" or "differed in mean value, but the difference was not statistically significant".
Christian theologians wrangle over whether Mormon beliefs should be described as Christianity; Mormons, for their part, implicitly return the favor, since they believe that true Christian faith was restored to earth by Joseph Smith after nearly two millenniums of apostasy.
The chosen comparator should be described in sufficient detail for readers to assess whether the incremental benefits or harms reported are likely to apply in their own setting, where usual care may be more, or less, effective.
The laboratory procedures used to measure biomarkers should be described in sufficient detail for others to be able to perform them and evaluate the generalizability of prediction models that include them.
The genomes themselves are essentially materials and methods, and should be described accordingly (no need for the kind of routine genome analyses used as filler in most genome papers).
Major funders in the United Kingdom (UK), such as the National Institute for Health Research NIHRR) and the Medical Research Council, do not currently offer specific guidance on the way qualitative research should be described within an application for trial funding.
