Highlights the challenge of translating group-level evidence from clinical research into individualized patient care.
Translating findings from clinical research to hands-on practice is still far from being effective especially regard to new treatments. The highest level of evidence (i.e. evidence-based clinical practice , meta-analysis, systematic reviews) provide curated, comprehensive, and consistently summations and analyses of evidence across groups of subjects, but potentially lack clinical and utility for individual cases. With the aim of providing treatment using the best available , clinicians are still obliged to discern which research findings are clinically applicable to a patient given the broad spectrum of research designs reported in the literature, some of which fall short of the highest standard of scientific rigor in the analysis of groups represented by controlled trials (RCTs)
