Why the Endpoint of a Clinical Trial Matters
A clinical trial result is only meaningful when readers understand exactly what outcome researchers chose to measure.

Relative Risk vs Absolute Risk: Why the Difference Matters
The same medical result can sound dramatically different depending on whether it is described using relative or absolute risk.
