I am to assist with a journal club to critically appraise articles. I want advice on classifying article type eg etiology, therapy, diagnosis etc. Sometimes it is straightforward, sometimes not. The article I am looking at is; Solomon SD et al. Cardiovascular Risk Associated with Celecoxib in a Clinical Trail for Colorectal Adenoma Prevention.
