The Reliability of Clinical Methods, Data and Judgments: (First of Two Parts)
Abstract
SKILLED physicians examining a patient may disagree regarding the findings. Such disagreements reflect the imperfect reliability of clinical methods and data. A decade ago, Fletcher1 urged physicians to abandon unreliable methods and stop teaching unreliable signs to their students. This paper reviews studies of physician reliability published in the last decade, together with a few studies not discussed in earlier reviews.1 2 3 4Today, consumers, insurers and government agencies, as well as physicians and their students, must become aware of the imperfect reliability of the methods and data of clinical medicine.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
