Jackets are short coats which are similar to the ones that were worn by the French peasants. The word jacket is a French word. Jackets are generally worn under a coat or in place of a coat during winters. Nowadays it has become fashionable to wear stylish winter jackets without any coats. Choosing a winter jacket is easy because jackets are available in colors and materials which eliminate the need of a coat altogether.
The prestigious New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) recently published a study that questioned both the selective publication of (positive) medical studies on antidepressants and therefore whether we have an accurate, unbiased perspective on their effectiveness and risk-benefit ratio.(6) Instead of only considering published studies on the effectiveness of antidepressants, the authors evaluated all studies registered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), both published and unpublished. According to publishes studies, it appeared that 94% of the trials conducted showed positive outcomes. However, when the unpublished studies were included, only about half (51%) of the studies demonstrated positive outcomes, suggesting a bias in the publication of positive studies, significantly questioning their efficacy. The authors concluded that they could not determine, however, the cause of the publication bias, but stated, "[s]elective reporting of clinical trial results may have adverse consequences for researchers, study participants, health care professionals, and patients."(7)
