One habit that pays for itself: post the method alongside the number.

Bookmarking. The distinction being drawn above is the one nobody else makes.

Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice. Worth answering the question that was asked rather than the one behind it. The narrow version usually has an answer; the broad version usually does not, and answering the broad one is how a thread stops being useful.

This matches mine closely enough to be worth saying so out loud.

Moderator note: reminder that nothing in this thread is medical advice, and that clinical claims need a source. Report rather than reply if it drifts again.

Worth restating a point from upthread for anyone joining at this page:

A quick sanity check on any figure quoted here: is it mean or median, is it intention-to-treat or completers, and what was the comparator. Three questions, and they resolve most disagreements in these threads.

That is the short version; the long version is somebody else's post.
