Critical analysis of a meta-analysis 1
This session will reinforce the concepts of sensitivity, specificity, and ROC curves. Today’s article is a Cochrane Review meta-analysis about rapid antigen–detection testing for group A streptococcus. You will also dive deeper into the process of assessing “the risk of bias” in studies and how those biases can impact a meta-analysis. Learning goals List the […]

Critical appraisal of a randomized controlled trial
In this journal club session, we will be appraising a recent article about empagliflozin, an inhibitor of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2, found in the kidney’s proximal tubule. This drug is used to treat type 2 diabetes. However, recent evidence suggests that using SGLT2 inhibitors reduces the risk of hospitalization for patients with heart failure with or […]
