Water-soluble contrast agents in adhesional small bowel obstruction: meta-analysis and PRECIS-2 assessment of trials
➡️doi.org/10.1093/bjsopen/zraf…
An updated meta-analysis showed that water-soluble contrast agents are not therapeutic for adhesive small bowel obstruction. A review of trials showed statistical fragility. PRECIS assessment revealed pragmatic, rather than explanatory, trials.
👏👏👏Great work by @MatthewGowell , Daniel Baker , Greta McLachlan , David N Naumann , Adam Peckham-Cooper , @Neil_J_Smart , @wannabehawkeye

If you were giving advice to a group of medical students, and circumstances were such that you had near-complete freedom to say almost anything you wanted, what would you tell them?
Assume that the audience is not interested in hearing the usual ‘common sense’ platitudes.
