Read a study in context

  1. Who was included—and who was excluded? Check the diagnosis, age, medical history, and setting.
  2. Was the study randomized and controlled, observational, a case report, or a preprint?
  3. What changed, for how long, and compared with what? Separate symptom scores from everyday functioning.
  4. Were harms, dropouts, blinding problems, and conflicts of interest reported?
  5. What established care and non-drug support should remain part of the conversation?
