I haven't seen an issue of the AJSM, but if it's anything like either of
the big 2 US medical journals (Journal of the American Medical Association
and The New England Journal of Medicine), then it probably has a "Letters"
section where *doctors* refute and comment on the findings of published
studies. I've seen a few studies in the NEJM that were set up in such a
skewed fashion, that I was amazed the editors accepted it for publication.
My point is that anything published in a medical journal can and should be
scrutinized, and not taken as the absolute truth.
