@DrJenGunter @gorskon Yes, evidence of bias in alt med studies. Some examples: Mindfulness: https://t.co/3ENPwT5ptc Acupuncture: https://t.co/7A7hQIMgzl (by @EdzardErnst) Example publication bias: https://t.co/EOPpZsR0yf And (of course) close ties to industry: https://t.co/CD6qhbUzW3

@graemedmoffat @ntvandam @jonathanstea @StanKutcher @GidMK @cecilejanssens @drkiki @crackedscience @HealthNewsRevu @garyschwitzer @ConscienHealth Aware of that interesting study from 2015. Potential there, for sure. I'm curious if (much critiqued) methodology limitation in this area are getting better (read the 2018 analysis). See also https://t.co/3ENPwT5ptc.

@argStringaris Haven't read this yet but what were the control groups to control for unspecific effects (placebo, suggestion etc)? Just to mention that the publication bias is likely quite high, eg: https://t.co/q9r00bZSUO

Take this paper by Corondo-Montoya et al. (2016) as an example. https://t.co/m0fn34IKzB. It talks about how majority of findings from studies on mindfulness and mental health produce significant results, even with low statistical power. https://t.co/wC6kgxh51U

@Farmer_MindBody @CoyneoftheRealm There is a huge amount of scrutiny on this topic. And more is needed. In fact, I use mindfulness bias (see https://t.co/3ENPwT5ptc) to highlight this exact point. Hype/bias is everywhere. People often think it exists only with Big Sci. We need good method/science everywhere.
