The JAMA Rational Clinical Examination Series
The Rational Clinical Examination articles appear in JAMA and are
evidence-based systematic reviews based on diagnostic clinical problems.
The Methods section presents the search strategy used to identify
studies,
study characteristics, and data analysis. The reviews outline a clinical
scenario, diagnostic standards, signs and symptoms, precision and
accuracy, and give a bottom line conclusion.
