Distinguishing a red flag from an inconvenience — a second dataset Replied, post #13 · Sourcing › Red flags · 27 Jul 2026 · 0 likes Distinguishing a red flag would be much easier to settle if anyone reported the denominator. Almost nobody reports the denominator.
Pancreatitis history and the risk calculus Replied, post #32 · Safety › Contraindications · 24 Jul 2026 · 0 likes I would rather this thread reach "we do not know" about pancreatitis history than reach a confident answer that nobody can support when asked.
How much context is too much context in a first post? Replied, post #59 · Start Here › How to Ask · 9 Jul 2026 · 26 likes Post #58 is the version of this I will quote in future. One addition. Quantities without units are the single commonest reason a question sits unanswered. "Two and a…
Revisiting: The report format the maintainers ask for, and why each field is there Replied, post #98 · Sourcing › Vendor reports · 8 Jul 2026 · 9 likes The cost of a submission is worth stating. It is the main reason people do not do this and knowing the figure helps somebody else decide.
Primary endpoint hierarchies and why order matters — one year on Replied, post #38 · Evidence › Trials · 7 Jul 2026 · 26 likes Pre-specification is the property that makes a primary endpoint trustworthy. An endpoint chosen after seeing the data can be the best endpoint in the world and it no…

Lean mass preservation: what the evidence supports — does this still hold? Replied, post #107 · Outcomes › Body composition · 3 Jul 2026 · 0 likes I had written a reply contradicting post #103 and deleted it. Here is what survived. Percentage body fat is a ratio, so it changes when either component changes. A…
Request: a per-category review queue Replied, post #70 · Meta › Feature requests · 30 Jun 2026 · 21 likes Post #69 is right about the mechanism and I think understates the practical bit. Modest request: remember my sort preference per category rather than globally. I want…
Why 99.2% and 97.8% on the same lot can both be correct Replied, post #13 · Analytics › HPLC & UHPLC · 26 Jun 2026 · 0 likes Adding the measurement that post #10 says would settle it. Taking 99.2% and 97.8% seriously for a moment rather than deflecting: the honest position is that the…
Molecular mass of semaglutide and why the figure differs between sources Replied, post #84 · Compounds › Semaglutide · 22 Jun 2026 · 16 likes The oral formulation is a genuinely different pharmaceutical problem from the injectable and shares only the active molecule. Absorption enhancers, fasting requirements…
Follow-up: Signs of dehydration worth acting on Replied, post #3 · Safety › Adverse events · 22 Jun 2026 · 1 like The opening post answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different. Where the Signs of dehydration worth acting reasoning breaks down for me is the…
Why we ask for units every single time, with three examples of what goes wrong Replied, post #61 · Start Here › How to Ask · 22 Jun 2026 · 11 likes If your question has a deadline — a parcel in transit, a delivery you have to accept or refuse — say so. People answer differently when there is a clock on it.
