A girl I knew in college saw David Lynch speak at an event. When it ended, she found a way to get to the front to tell him how much his films and shows meant to her. His response was “Thank you. And remember, the universe is in your basement.”

Really great study on change in negative trials over time in medecine (2000 - 2020). 1,500 studies included. Major results: * arguably no increase in negative trials over time * No association between registration and negative results (about 67% positive results with and without registration)

Glad to learn of this, & to see it refer to the classic Cook & Farewell paper on multiplicity in #ClinicalTrials. People need to know that corrections are sometimes appropriate for testing a union (H1 OR H2) but not for testing H1 just because you test H2 a minute later. #StatsSky #rct #Statistics

Hey #StatsSky, what are you favorite papers to cite when you need to justify something that is obvious (I once had a reviewer ask we justify the use of logistic regression on a binary outcome) or when you need to push-back on silly reviewer requests (e.g., asking for p-values in table 1)?

Screening for suicidality and adding safety-planning in primary-care lead to a 25% reduction in suicide attempts. The trial-design is also fascinating. Now imagine offering more (e.g., typical crisis intervention) to support people resolving the underlying cause of suicidal despair

I agree w/ the problem description, but I'm skeptical of the proposed solution. Yes, the efficacy of treatment is to some extent substantially overestimated (due to publication bias, risk of bias etc.). However, the evidence for the effectiveness of universal prevention strategies is even worse.
