Do trialists and patients and health professionals choose the same trial primary outcomes? For breast cancer and nephrology it's No. What's more, it's no most of the time. A new Trial Forge study out today trialsjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Why do so many pregnant women in South Australia have an iron infusion? Researcher @Annette66849481 is investigating why it's seen as the "go-to" solution despite supplements being an effective way to address iron deficiency. blogs.flinders.edu.au/caring-futures… Megan Cooper

Lockdown impacts on perinatal outcome. Fantastic study led by Lisa Hui but only possible with the participation & collaborative spirit of all maternity hospitals in Melb, Aus. ‘If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together’. Congrats to all- great work.

Massive status bias in peer review. 534 reviewers randomized to review the same paper revealing the low status, high status, or neither author. 65% reject low status, 23% reject high status. Amazing work by Juergen Huber and colleagues. #prc9

Finally, a plea … can we stop using the phrase “negative” trial. It is a disservice to all the people who spent years designing and conducting the trials and more importantly to the participants who gave of themselves and their time to participate. 5/5
