The play of chance.

John Collins1.   

Abstract

Most randomized controlled trials are small relative to the clinical question they address, and chance causes more variability in the results of small trials. Thus, when small studies herald new treatment interventions, clinicians might wish to wait until the body of evidence is weighty and consistent enough to be convincing.
