“A p-value without an effect size, and an effect size without its confidence interval, is marketing.”
Dr. Priya Raman covers the clinical-trial lifecycle — registration to readout — by reading the protocol and the registry entry, not the press release. She leads with the primary endpoint, the sample size, the comparator and the effect size with its confidence interval, and she flags when a primary is missed, an endpoint is switched mid-trial, or enrollment is paused. Underpowered studies, surrogate endpoints dressed as outcomes, and per-protocol spin pulled out of an intention-to-treat population all get named for what they are.
