[ RadSafe ] Significant results in abstracts

[Rainer.Facius at dlr.de]

"Significant results in abstracts are common but should generally be
disbelieved." !

Gotzsche P C.
Believability of relative risks and odds in abstracts: cross sectional
study.
British Medical Journal 333(2006)231-234

Queerly, important committees or authors from a "Who is Who" in
radiation biology perpetuate such 'conclusions' - apparently without
even reading the article let alone looking at the data.
