What Rank Buys You
Captions available
The idea
The higher a well-conducted methodology ranks, the more likely its results represent the actual situation, and the more confidence a clinician can have in the same outcomes for similar patients.
In practice
A synthesis supporting a decision more firmly than a single small study.
Where people slip
In similar patients carries the applicability judgement forward. Rank does not transfer a finding to a different population.
