What a Case Study Can Do
Captions available
The idea
A study with a weak design can inform clinical care even when it cannot answer the clinical question fully or support a practice change.
In practice
A case report that describes a phenomenon nobody has yet trialled.
Where people slip
Informing care and justifying a change are two different uses. Weak evidence does the first and not the second.
