An Approach to reading Clinical Research ‘The M.A.A.R.I.E Framework’
Journal Title: Healthline - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The M.A.A.R.I.E. framework is the basis for a step-by-step approach to reading the clinical research literature. The six elements of the M.A.A.R.I.E. framework; Method, Assignment, Assessment, Results, Interpretation, Extrapolation and the three questions associated with each element form the basis for a step-by-step approach to reading the medical evidence. The paper discusses the use of this framework in form of a checklist taking example of a real journal article employing Clinical Experimental design model. Hope this checklist will be useful to young and upcoming researchers to evaluate epidemiologic literature systematically.
