  The trial is not at all impressive. "In this prospective, open-label, multi center study subjects aged 18-80 diagnosed with viral pneumonia . . .'
  So they basically just left a bunch of canisters around hospitals waiting for people to just walk in with viral pneumonia. No controls. No randomization. No experimental design.
  Pulling the journal equivalent of the IG influencer renting a Lamborghini for a day to make content by publishing in "Scientific Reports" - which is a trash tier journal under the "Nature" umbrella.

• Jaguar8 OP Arrayfunction : Not all clinical trials use RCTs. There are different ways of conducting trials. I myself did an exploratory and quasi- experimental mixed intervention study. RCTs are considered the pinnacle of clinical trials, but then certain studies can be achieved without it.

• Jaguar8 OP : And also this publication is peer-reviewed so what you are claiming is altogether different.

• Arrayfunction Jaguar8 OP : Yeah, I understand there are different types of trials. The fact we use RCTs at all presents an ethical dilemma I have no answer for. I hope we can develop enough Bayesian analyses frameworks and companies will work together and contribute data so we can test drugs with external control arms instead of actually giving sick people no treatment.
  Observational studies are fine - it's just disingenuous wording on their part. It doesn't show much of anything in terms of the metrics.
  You are right,  trash tier probably was too strong a word, my slang bleed too far. But it's not a very high quality journal. The impact factor calculation has a ton of problems with it, but since there needs to be some kind of metric Scientific Reports sits at 3.8 vs Nature's 50.5.
