− | 结果的同行评审是科学方法的重要组成部分。审查者检查研究结果是否存在可能导致不可靠结果的潜在设计问题(例如,通过产生系统偏差),在相关研究和其他证据的背景下评估研究,并评估是否可以合理地认为研究已经证明了其结论。为了强调同行评审的必要性和过度概括结论的危险,两位波士顿地区的医学研究人员进行了一项随机对照试验,他们随机给23名从双翼飞机或直升机上跳下的志愿者分配了一个降落伞或一个空背包。这项研究能够准确地报告,与空背包相比,降落伞不能减少伤害。限制这一结论普遍适用性的关键背景是,飞机停在地面上,参与者只跳了大约两英尺。

− | RCTs are considered to be the most reliable form of [[scientific method|scientific evidence]] in the [[hierarchy of evidence]] that influences healthcare policy and practice because RCTs reduce spurious causality and bias. Results of RCTs may be combined in [[systematic review]]s which are increasingly being used in the conduct of [[evidence-based practice]]. Some examples of scientific organizations' considering RCTs or systematic reviews of RCTs to be the highest-quality evidence available are:
