The study
According to a new study, one third of all the studies made are nonsense...
Confused by the claim made I did not know if I should read this particular new study or not ;) . Here is the abstract!

Why 1/3....IMHO 90% of them are useless / Fake.!
does that study include this one too?? ;-)
1/3rd of people's effort put in studies is not worth it...not a pleasing statistics...

Yes it is a medical paper and is limited to studies made during a specific time period.
I am not sure what "intervention" means...but i was just curious what if this study is also a part of studies made (this is clearly not the case)...
So I just wondered if this theory is a nonsense or not...which leads to a paradoxx... ;) !!
But 2/3rd of success is a very good result in any field (I think) !

Interesting perspective...
apparently this happened during one of my course where i reported that "certain approach thing did not work as expected and it was bad"..the profs immediate reply was "no it is good we know that approach doesnt work"...
Apparently one main thing about research is knowing when stuff doesnt work...
I haven't read the article. But Cecilia has posted something similar.
