Reading right: an exercise in critique

Ostomy Wound Manage. 1992 Jan-Feb;38(1):46-51.

Abstract

The previous critique of the "mini-article" merely scratches the surface with respect to critical reading of the literature. However, it is of vital importance to know whether the authors' conclusions are substantiated by the results obtained. Therefore, do not be intimidated by the data; pull out your calculator, verify the numbers, and practice your critical reading skills. After all, practice makes perfect!
