Picking up the opening post: that is the part I would want checked first.

Reading this orforglipron phase 2 thread as someone who came in with a fixed view: the third and seventh replies moved me and the confident ones did not.

k.bettencourt, post #9: Critical appraisal template: (1) What did the trial set out to estimate? (2) Could the design answer that question? (3) Was the population sufficiently similar to your population to apply the results? (4) What was the absolute effect, not just the relative one? (5) What are the two strongest criticisms available? The strength of my… Go to post

Coming back to post #12, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.

A methods point on orforglipron phase 2 rather than a substantive one: if the comparison is not like for like, the difference you are measuring is the difference in method.

Where the group cannot agree, record the disagreement rather than resolving it by seniority. The recorded disagreement is more honest and more useful later.

On orforglipron phase 2 I would separate what is worth knowing from what is worth acting on. The first list is long and the second is short, and conflating them is how threads get heated.

IRenaudin, post #46: Post #43 is the version of this I will quote in future. One addition. The most useful reply I ever got about orforglipron phase 2 was a request to state my units. It sounds like pedantry and it has saved me twice. Go to post

Reframing orforglipron phase 2 slightly, because I think the disagreement is about the question rather than the answer. If the question is "does it happen", yes. If it is "how often", nobody here knows.

The strongest argument against my own position on orforglipron phase 2, stated as well as I can state it, since nobody else has yet.

I changed my mind about orforglipron phase 2 after someone here asked me for the source and I could not produce one. That is worth saying out loud because it is the ordinary way it happens.

Worth saying I have only my own numbers here, and n is small.
