Remember that Vitamin C cures sepsis paper that could never be replicated in 9 RCTs?

Turns out there is a good reason why: it’s very likely fraudulent.

To understand the proof you should read Dr Sheldricks post.

To summarize, he observed that in this non-randomized study the baseline characteristics of the pre & post intervention groups are far too perfectly matched. This perfect matching is unlikely to occur by chance.

Specifically, you’d expect to see a range of p values for each baseline characteristic.

(This is especially true in a tiny trial with only n=47 patients)

Instead the range of p values for almost every variable was exactly 1.

This is *extremely* unlikely to occur by chance.
