An Evidence Review of Low-Value Care Recommendations: Inconsistency and Lack of Economic Evidence Considered

David D. Kim, Lauren A. Do, Allan T. Daly, John B. Wong, James D. Chambers, Daniel A. Ollendorf, Peter J. Neumann

Summary: The study found substantial variability in the evidentiary rationales for low-value care recommendations across different organizations, with clinical evidence being the most commonly relied upon. Broadening the evidence base to include cost-effectiveness evidence can help determine whether the costs of an intervention are justified by the benefits. Developing a consensus grading structure for the strength and evidentiary rationale may improve efforts to reduce low-value care.

Should IQOS Emissions Be Considered as Smoke and Harmful to Health? A Review of the Chemical Evidence

Clement N. Uguna, Colin E. Snape

Summary: This review examines the chemical evidence of IQOS emissions and their potential health threats. The study finds that IQOS emissions contain harmful compounds, similar to those in conventional cigarette smoke. However, the researchers argue that previous studies may have underestimated the levels of harmful compounds in IQOS aerosol. Furthermore, IQOS emissions contain carbon particles, which fit the definitions of both aerosol and smoke. The review recommends further research to assess the impact of repeated use and the formation of compounds in IQOS emissions.

LABA/LAMA as First-Line Therapy for COPD: A Summary of the Evidence and Guideline Recommendations

Marc Miravitlles, Tomotaka Kawayama, Michael Dreher

Summary: Inhaled bronchodilators, particularly long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA) and long-acting beta(2)-agonists (LABA), are recommended as the primary treatment for symptomatic COPD patients. The use of LABA/LAMA combination therapy is strongly recommended in patients with more severe symptoms, regardless of exacerbation history. However, real-world prescribing data show that LABA and/or LAMA without an inhaled corticosteroid are not commonly prescribed for COPD.

Dystonia Responsive to Dopamine: POLG Mutations Should Be Considered If Sensory Neuropathy Is Present

Jessica Qiu, Kishore Raj Kumar, Eloise Watson, Kate Ahmad, Carolyn M. Sue, Michael W. Hayes

Summary: This case report describes a 30-year-old male presenting with lower limb dystonia and peripheral neuropathy, with whole-genome sequencing revealing biallelic variants in the POLG gene. Early genetic diagnosis allowed for avoidance of invasive procedures or harmful treatments before more recognizable features of mitochondrial disease appeared. Suspecting a POLG-related disorder in cases of dystonia with peripheral neuropathy can have implications for further investigations and management.

Antidepressant prescriptions have not fully reflected evolving evidence from cumulative network meta-analyses and guideline recommendations

Yan Luo, Edoardo G. Ostinelli, Ethan Sahker, Anna Chaimani, Yuki Kataoka, Yusuke Ogawa, Andrea Cipriani, Georgia Salanti, Toshi A. Furukawa

Summary: The study found that most drugs recommended by clinical practice guidelines demonstrated favorable efficacy and acceptability in network meta-analyses. However, guidelines often recommended drug classes rather than specific drugs, while meta-analyses showed distinct differences between drugs within the same class. The update intervals for all guidelines were longer than 5 years. Commonly prescribed antidepressants in the United States were all recommended by guidelines, but changes in prescriptions did not align with guideline updates or changes indicated by meta-analyses, possibly influenced by factors such as marketing efforts, regulations, or patient values.

Even minimal student-instructor interactions may increase enjoyment in the classroom: Preliminary evidence that greeting your students may have benefits even if you can't remember their names

Gillian M. Sandstrom

Summary: Students benefit from rapport with their instructors, and even minimal social interactions, such as greetings, can help build this connection. Learning students' names may not always be feasible, but simply greeting them upon entering class can still lead to a stronger relationship, increased interest, relatedness, and belonging.

Should researchers make causal inferences and recommendations for practice on the basis of nonexperimental studies?

Michael P. Grosz

Summary: According to a review by Brady et al. (2023), recommendations for practice have become more common in educational psychology articles in recent decades, while experimental studies have decreased. The authors warn against under-supported recommendations and suggest that evidence from experimental studies is the only acceptable basis. However, the commentator argues that both experimental and nonexperimental designs can provide insights into cause-effect relationships and even studies with limited causal effects can have practical implications. The commentator recommends that educational researchers discuss practical implications regardless of the design used and transparently communicate the limitations and assumptions of their findings.

Rebecca L. Morgan, Juan Jose Yepes-Nuneza, Joycelyne Ewusie, Lawrence Mbuagbaw, Stephanie Chang, Tejan Baldeh, Susanne Hempel, Mark Helfand, Paul Shekelle, Timothy J. Wilt, Holger J. Schunemann

Summary: This study evaluated different formats of summary of findings (SoF) tables for single comparison with multiple outcomes. The alternative GRADE SoF table was found to be superior in terms of understanding, accessibility, satisfaction, and preference compared to the current GRADE SoF table and the adapted EPC SoF table. Participants reported increased satisfaction when SoF tables included information such as number needed to treat (NNT), anticipated absolute effect differences, and narrative syntheses. The alternative GRADE SoF table format was preferred by participants.

The impact of climate change on health needs structured evidence assessment and an evidence to action framework to make decisions: a proposal to adopt the GRADE approach

Ignacio Neumann, Josep M. Anto, Jean Bousqueth, Holger J. Schunemann

Summary: This article highlights how using the GRADE approach increases transparency in understanding the certainty of evidence on the impact of climate change on health outcomes, and how it can enhance communication and decision-making on adaptation and mitigation strategies. Structured approaches like GRADE help define specific questions, summarize evidence, assess uncertainty, provide a systematic framework for action and recommendations, adapt recommendations to specific settings, and assess the certainty of modeled evidence.

Lisa Stallwood, Adrian Sammy, Matthew Prebeg, Jacqueline Relihan, Ami Baba, Rana Charide, Shahab Sayfi, Sarah A. Elliott, Lisa Hartling, Matthew Munan, Dawn P. Richards, Joseph L. Mathew, Tamara Kredo, Lawrence Mbuagbaw, Ashley Motilall, Shannon D. Scott, Miloslav Klugar, Tamara Lotfi, Adrienne L. Stevens, Kevin Pottie, Holger J. Schunemann, Nancy J. Butcher, Martin Offringa

Summary: In this randomized clinical trial, a digital plain language recommendation (PLR) was compared with the standard language version (SLV) of a health recommendation. The results showed no significant difference in understanding scores between the PLR and SLV groups. However, youths ranked the PLR higher in terms of accessibility, usability, and satisfaction, suggesting that it may be preferred for communicating health recommendations to youths. Interviews provided suggestions for further improving the PLR format.
