Reporting and interpretation of results from clinical trials that did not claim a treatment difference: survey of four general medical journals by Simon Gates, Elizabeth Ealing

“…Objectives To describe and summarise how the results of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that did not find a significant treatment effect are reported, and to estimate how commonly trial reports make unwarranted claims.Design We performed a retrospective survey of published RCTs, published in four high impact factor general medical journals between June 2016 and June 2017.Setting Trials conducted in all settings were included.Participants 94 reports of RCTs that did not find a difference in their main comparison or comparisons were included.Interventions All interventions.Primary and secondary outcomes We recorded the way the results of each trial for its primary outcome or outcomes were described in Results and Conclusions sections of the Abstract, using a 10-category classification. …”

Wakefulness can be distinguished from general anesthesia and sleep in flies using a massive library of univariate time series analyses. by Angus Leung, Ahmed Mahmoud, Travis Jeans, Ben D Fulcher, Bruno van Swinderen, Naotsugu Tsuchiya

“…Meanwhile, time-series features related to well-known potential markers of consciousness, such as those related to complexity or spectral power, failed to generalize across all the flies. However, many of these complexity and spectral features have a consistent direction of effect due to anesthesia or sleep across flies, suggesting that even slight variations in experiment setup can reduce generalizability of classifiers. …”
