Background: DES
• Used in the United States from 1947 until 1971• Boston area doctors noted an unusual cancer• Study compared the group with the cancer to
similar people without the cancer• The major difference between the cases and the
controls was DES exposure
![Page 28: INTRODUCTION TO SCIENTIFIC PAPERS Joe Pozdol, MLIS Evans Whitaker, MD, MLIS Norris Medical Library University of Southern California 2003 Zonal Ave. Los](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020115/55163f37550346c6758b532b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Example: DES and Cancer
• Herbst, A.L., Ulfelder, H., & Poskanzer,D.C. (1971). Adenocarcinoma of the vagina: association of maternal stilbestrol therapy with tumor appearance in young women. NEJM, 284(16), 478-481.
• Look at article:– Last sentence in Introductory area = research question
– First paragraph in methods = research design
![Page 29: INTRODUCTION TO SCIENTIFIC PAPERS Joe Pozdol, MLIS Evans Whitaker, MD, MLIS Norris Medical Library University of Southern California 2003 Zonal Ave. Los](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020115/55163f37550346c6758b532b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Cohort
• Two groups compared over time
• One group with “exposure”, the other without the “exposure”
• Best used:owhen exposures can’t be controlledowhen outcomes occur infrequentlyowhen RCT is not ethical

Randomized Control Trial• A treatment group is compared to a
control group
• Group members are assigned randomly
• Best uses:– Drug therapies– Medical treatments

Narrative (Journalistic/Subject) Reviews
• The “traditional” or “classic” review
• “Review” limit in Ovid/PubMed includes:– Narrative reviews– Systematic reviews
• Authors choose articles included
• Author bias is a concern – research verifies this effect
![Page 38: INTRODUCTION TO SCIENTIFIC PAPERS Joe Pozdol, MLIS Evans Whitaker, MD, MLIS Norris Medical Library University of Southern California 2003 Zonal Ave. Los](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020115/55163f37550346c6758b532b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Systematic Review
• Reproducible methods to find and select articles are included
• Should include both inclusion and exclusion criteria
• Why? Decrease author bias
![Page 39: INTRODUCTION TO SCIENTIFIC PAPERS Joe Pozdol, MLIS Evans Whitaker, MD, MLIS Norris Medical Library University of Southern California 2003 Zonal Ave. Los](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020115/55163f37550346c6758b532b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Example: Is HPV Vaccine Cost-Effective?
• Techakehakij, W., Feldman, R.D. (2008). Cost-effectiveness of HPV vaccination compared to Pap smear screening on a national scale: a literature review. Vaccine, doi:10.1016/j.vaccine.2008.09.036
• Look at article:– Pg. 2, Section 3.1, first paragraph = research question– Pg. 3, Section 4.1, first to third paragraphs =
research design

Meta Analysis
• Similar to Systematic Review except…
• Numeric data from separate studies combined in meta analysis
• Uses statistical/mathematical methods to combine numerical data from studies
• Combining data increases the confidence we have in the conclusions reached by a meta analysis

Article TypeWhat kind of question is it
good for?Strengths Weaknesses
Identifying Characteristics
Case-Control(Herbst, 1971)(Peled, 2008)
-Rare disorders or conditions-Slow developing disorders-Causation*
-Short time frame to examine correlations between disorder and other factors
-Susceptible to bias-Limited validity
-Cross sectional
Cohort**(Doll, et al, 2004)(Metcalf, 2008)
- Prognosis-Causation*
- Feasible when studying conditions or exposures over which the investigator has no control
-Susceptible to bias-Limited validity-May require large groups, long durations, great cost
-Longitudinal -Usually prospective-Can be retrospective (less cost)
Randomized Control Trial (RCT)(An et al, 2008)(Gordon, 1997)
-Drug treatment-Medical interventions
-Strong level of evidence-Low susceptibility to bias
-Feasibility (e.g. Ethical limitations)-Generalizability**
-Randomization method -Experimental and control groups
Systematic Review (Techakehakij,2008)(Gallicchio, 2008)
-Drug treatment-Medical interventions
-Low susceptibility to bias-Strongest level of evidence
-Many topics have no systematic review
-Methods section has explicit information about information sources, how articles were chosen or excluded
* - used loosely here; not distinguishing between correlation and causation (in medicine etiology is used for the cause of a disease or condition)
** - can results of an RCT be applied to groups that do not match the study group?
