Appraising a Trial: Were All Accounted For?
Captions available
The idea
Appraisal asks whether every participant who entered the trial is accounted for at its end, and whether those who left differed from those who stayed.
In practice
A trial reporting how many withdrew, and why.
Where people slip
Participants leaving is ordinary. Participants leaving for reasons connected to the outcome can produce the result on their own.
