The Fragility of Statistically Significant Randomized Controlled Trials in Plastic Surgery.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The fragility index has been proposed as a metric to evaluate the robustness of statistically significant findings in randomized controlled trials. It measures the number of events that a trial result relies on to maintain statistical significance. This study examines the robustness of statistically significant results from randomized controlled trials in the plastic surgery literature.
METHODS: A systematic literature search of the …
