Observational Studies: reviewed like a reviewer would

In a content analysis of 151 medical-education manuscripts, the top reasons for rejection were inappropriate or incomplete statistics, overinterpretation of results, and inappropriate or suboptimal instrumentation. [12][14]

Reviewers found flaws in the methods of 85.7% of 42 manuscripts submitted to medical journals in Africa and Asia, and in the references of 69.0%. [13]

Across 48 studies and 19,443 manuscripts, agreement between reviewers is low: mean intraclass correlation 0.34 and mean Cohen's kappa 0.17. [15]

Under open review, 40.8% of US abstracts and 22.6% of non-US abstracts were accepted at the American Heart Association meeting; blinding narrowed the gap to 33.4% versus 23.7%. [29]

Across nine JAMA Network journals, 2025 research acceptance rates ranged from 3.9% (JAMA) to 10% (JAMA Otolaryngology). [53][54][55][56][58][59][60][57][61]

"Standards in the use of statistics in medical research are generally low," with persistent errors reported across most medical journals. [44]
