My tweets are not a news outlet (i.e. "All the News That's Fit to Print").

I tweet what I find interesting.

I don't tweet things that are stated frequently or better by others.

My goal is not to please all readers but simply to amuse myself.

Bingo!

@venkmurthy STREAM's "noninferior" was baked in
 Max event-free time that could lose in 2 yrs: ~7.5 wks

Margin pre-set: 5.2 wks (~65% of max)

A perfect statin (0 MI/stroke/CV ☠️ events) gets ~3.5–4 wks
 To fail non-inferiority statins would also have to ⬇️ non-CV ☠️
(which they don’t )

When the plain results are so divergent from the conclusion the scientific approach gives, it suggests we might want to reevaluate the scientific method underlying (I'm this case non-inferiority)

Biggest disconnect between a conclusion and a graph I’ve seen, I think.

Amazing. Hopefully this holds up with larger and longer studies

In three patients with refractory epilepsy, hippocampal chemogenetic therapy plus low-dose clozapine was associated with a mean seizure-frequency reduction of 92.6%. Adverse events were grade 1 or 2. Full study results: nej.md/4Agtyhz

Don't forget we had a pile of tech bros pumping Lp(a) testing and treatment to large lay audiences

They also do the same for widespread CAC and CCTA...
