The Clinical Investigator as an Endangered Species
Open accessAbstract
THIS paper deals with the physician-investigator as an endangered species and with the future of clinical research. Clinical research includes the wide range of activities extending from epidemiology to studies of patients, to laboratory studies of specimens and tissues. Clinical research is usually conducted by physician-investigators working in a clinical department of a medical school or in a clinical division of an institute. An increasing number of Ph.D.'s are also engaging in clinical research, but this paper will be largely devoted to the physician-investigator.For several years there has been a declining interest in biomedical research on the part of . . .

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.
