JAMA on how to read clinical trials

There’s a series from JAMA that goes over how to read clinical trials. The series is written by individuals who are widely recognized in the field of evidence-based medicine. The entire series is a valuable resource for navigating literature in general, but there’s a total of six relevant parts to the series, specifically on how to read clinical trials:

I: how to get started
II-A: validity of therapy/prevention studies
II-B: results and whether they help your patients
XIV: applicability of clinical trial results to your patient
XIX-A: surrogate endpoints
XIX-B: drug class effect

I’m skipping some parts because they’re rather long and other parts aren’t as relevant to clinical trials.
