Interesting piece in today's Guardian newspaper. Sir Iain Chalmers, editor of the James Lind library, is arguing that red tape and over-regulation of research is hampering proper evaluation of medical treatments. He makes a very interesting point that research results which are disappointing are often never published, thereby skewing the evidence-base. An interesting article and well worth a read.
