The idea
Research is sometimes robust and convincing, sometimes weaker and conflicted, and sometimes the trial that would settle the question has not been done.
In practice
A clinical question with four small studies that disagree.
Where people slip
All three are ordinary. A literature that is thin or conflicted is a finding about the question, not a failure of appraisal.
