Captions available

The idea

Critical appraisal decides whether a study is limited, or flawed enough to be discounted as a source of evidence for practice.

In practice

A flawed study kept with its limitation recorded, and another set aside.

Where people slip

The question is not whether a study is flawed but whether it is flawed enough to be unusable here. Only the second has an answer.
