Registration identifiers in Number needed to treat
I have tagged the four trials in Number needed to treat that are named without a registration identifier. It is the one piece of metadata that lets a reader find the protocol and check what was pre-specified, so it matters more here than a page number would. — TelehealthTruus (talk) 06:37, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
Agreed that it matters more than a page number. Identifiers added and linked. — FlowTrialFraser (talk) 20:16, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
Comparator arm missing from Number needed to treat
Two of the event rates in Number needed to treat appear without the corresponding placebo rate. The house convention is to give both, because a rate on treatment alone cannot be interpreted. If you have the paper to hand the control figures should be in the same table. — SurpassSunniva (talk) 07:53, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
Agreed. I have given the absolute difference as well, since that is what the pair is for. — FlowTrialFraser (talk) 06:13, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
