Editorial Reviews for How to Read a Paper: The Basics of Evidence-based Medicine (Evidence-Based Medicine)
|
How to Read a Paper is one of the bestselling texts on evidence-based medicine, used by health care professionals and medical students worldwide. Trisha Greenhalgh’s ability to explain the basics of evidence-based medicine in an accessible and readable way means the book is an ideal introduction for all, from first year students to experienced practitioners.
This is a text that explains the meaning of critical appraisal and terms such as 'numbers needed to treat', 'how to search the literature', 'evaluate the different types of papers' and 'put the conclusions to clinical use'.
New features of the third edition include:
- New discussion putting evidence-based medicine into the current context, with more emphasis on patient perspectives
- Increased coverage of qualitative research in evidence-based medicine
- New information on literature sources and search mechanisms

Summary: outstanding text
Comment: This book fills a gap in my library.
I think that it applies well to our everyday practice in internal medicine because it summarizes the knowledge without being shallow.
It is very interesting the section about statistics with some pearls that really have an influence in the way we consider the analysis of data in papers we are used to read.
A must read book!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Paulo Carvalho
Comment: It is a concise and understandable book covering all that is important for concise critical appraisal of the literature on health and medicine. It is a very good start point for undergraduate and postgraduate students who want to get knowledge about this subject. I would like to remember you; if you can not do a critical appraisal of the paper you are reading probably you are buying cats thinking it is a rabbit...

Summary: Excellent EBM tool !!!
Comment: If you want to learn about EBM in an objective, practical and friendly way, this book is an excellent tool.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Good guide to EBM
Comment: Greenhalgh's book is a great read for someone familiar with medical and research terminology. As a med student, I loved it and found it very practical. It contains a great deal of material on how to evaluate the type, methodology, and statistical methods of research papers. There is no glossary, and in places the layout is hard to look at.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Short on Substance
Comment: "How to Read a Paper" reads more like a short essay than a book. While it is well written and often full of spirited discussion, this text is somewhat short on substance and generally too simplistic. The author rarely delves beyond the surface when explaining and exporoing this field, leaving me, at least, unsatisfied. Whereas a simplistic approach to any field may be useful, the amplification of themes once introduced is where real learning occurs. This book falls short, where several other excellent texts in this field carry on. I do like the author's style, and would encourage her to scribe a more thorough text... but if I were you I'd wait for that effort before buying this one.
