Dear Colleague,
A very good morning from historic Bury St Edmunds in the east of England.
To day's JAMA carries an interesting systematic review about trials that
were stopped early due to apparent benefit. The authors caution us that we
should view the results of such trials with skepticism and provides evidence
for this statement in their review. Abstract @

I thought some of you might be intersted in this review.
Warm regards & very best wishes,
Badri
