Small studies: strengths and limitations
Open accessAbstract
A large number of clinical research studies are conducted, including audits of patient data, observational studies, clinical trials and those based on laboratory analyses. While small studies can be published over a short time-frame, there needs to be a balance between those that can be performed quickly and those that should be based on more subjects and hence may take several years to complete. The present article provides an overview of the main considerations associated with small studies. The definition of “small” depends on the main study objective. When simply describing the characteristics of a single group of subjects, for example the prevalence of smoking, the larger the study the more reliable the results. The main results should have 95% confidence intervals (CI), and the width of these depend directly on the sample size: large studies produce narrow intervals and, therefore, more precise results. A study of 20 subjects, for example, is likely to be too small for most investigations. For example, imagine that the proportion of smokers among a particular group of 20 individuals is 25%. The associated 95% CI is 9–49. This means that the true prevalence in these subjects generally is anywhere between a low or high value, which is not a useful result. When comparing characteristics between two or more groups of subjects ( e.g. examining risk factors or treatments for disease), the size of the study depends on the magnitude of the expected effect size, which is usually quantified by a relative risk, odds ratio, absolute risk difference, hazard ratio, or difference between two means or medians. The smaller the true-effect size, the larger the study needs to be 1, 2. This is because it is more difficult to distinguish between a real effect and random variation. Consider mortality as the end-point in a …

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.
