Abstract
Trials might be compared to the famous little girl with a curl in the middle of her forehead. You recall that when she was good, she was very, very good, but when she was bad, she was horrid. There is no more useful vehicle in all of clinical medicine than an effective, well-designed, well-analyzed trial. There is also, however, an abundance of very bad trials that waste our resources and time and yield few answers.
