Very interesting, Diane...the study you quote in Pediatrics is an
exemplary one, and will be very useful as an illustration of why it's
important to read the *whole* study to ensure the abstract matches
the main part of the paper. I will use this example at a presentation
I am preparing for some paeds and GPs later this month, to show them
what happens.
Most people read abstracts only - if that. Heck, when I am collecting
literature, *I* read the abstracts only, at least at first.
Abstracts - often, just half a sentence of them - are quoted in ads.
They become a major selling point. Pediatrics is an important,
internationally-circulated child health journal. And this weasly
abstract gets past its peer reviewers....how?
