>We sought to examine the frequency with which studies in medical journals questioned an established practice.
>Although research is being conducted to examine current medical practices, few studies advocate for randomized testing of these practices, and even fewer actually test them in a randomized fashion.
>For all medical specialties combined, we found that 15% (n = 40) questioned existing practices and either evaluated the practice in a randomized trial or encouraged the practice to be tested in a randomized trial.
Oh, you thought we needed randomized trials? Sorry kid, turns out we don’t.
