Why Most Published Research Findings Are False

[stormer]

Ah, Ioannidis. No doubt the most misleading title of any paper I've ever read. One quite naturally assumes that the word “false” in the title equates with “wrong”, and this is not the intention. If I recall (and I don't want to reread it), the paper actually deals with the Null Hypothesis and Type I and Type II statistical errors.
