Theory of clinical therapeutic progress: reconciling equipoise with fat-tailed (skewed) outcomes - PubMed Medical progress relies on research that ultimately must rest, in part, on experimentation in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving human subjects. Researchers are ethically required to protect trial patients from being knowingly exposed to inferior treatments. This is achieved by requiring …

#RCT effects not normally distributed, follow a log-normal-Generalized Pareto Distribution. This doesn’t threaten underlying #equipoise, allows for discovery of large effects. Researchers conducting #Bayesian MA may consider using these priors.

Pages 1 and 2 of Opel et al.'s "Saving Shared Decision-Making" (2025) with highlights pertaining to Nick Byrd's social media post about how "clinical equipoise" is the opposite of the circumstances that are well-suited for shared decision-making (in medicine).

Df. "clinical #equipoise describes a situation of evidentiary uncertainty among experts".

Opel et al. (2025) argue such equipoise is neither necessary nor sufficient for #SharedDecisionMaking in #medicine.

Rather, SDM is most apt where tradeoffs between options are *known*

##Equipoise: true uncertainty regarding which of two or more choices is better, especially in clinical care and public health studies and decisions. When an investigator observes a treatment to be superior, there is ethical obligation to offer it.
