Objective
Language can influence societal perceptions of medical conditions. The employment of person‐centered language (PCL) in health care is reflected in many scientific publications; however, the extent of this adaptation in reference to obesity is unknown.
Methods
This cross‐sectional analysis included a systematic search of PubMed obesity‐related articles across four cohorts spanning January...
Objective
Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are essential to clinical decision‐making as their recommendations are supported by published literature. Systematic reviews are considered the highest quality of evidence used to underpin these guidelines. However, research to support these recommendations may lack compliance to quality reporting among systematic reviews (SRs). Here, we aim to evaluate...
Aims
Currently, there is a growing body of research demonstrating that spin—the misinterpretation and distortion of a study's findings—is common in different fields of medicine. To our knowledge, no study has investigated its presence in systematic reviews focused on diabetic therapies.
Methods
We performed a cross‐sectional study by searching MEDLINE and Embase for systematic reviews focused on...
Objective
Spin, i.e., the misrepresentation of research findings, has the potential to affect patient care. Evidence suggests that spin is prevalent in obesity randomized controlled trials. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to evaluate spin in abstracts of systematic reviews covering obesity treatments.
Methods
MEDLINE and Embase were searched to retrieve systematic reviews on...
