8.AI FOR OBGYN: How to Critique a Study with Claude

Reading a paper is not the same as evaluating it. Here is how to do both.

We are trained to read studies. We are not always trained to critique them. There is a difference.

Reading is absorbing what the authors say. Critiquing is asking whether what they say is justified by what they did. It is asking who was excluded and why. It is noticing when the conclusion in the abstract does not match the data in Table 3. It is asking whether a statistically significant finding is clinically meaningful.

Most of us do this imperfectly because it takes time and because we were not all trained equally in biostatistics. Claude does not replace methodological expertise -- but it raises the floor. It asks the right questions faster than most of us can, and it flags the issues we are most likely to miss when we are reading quickly.

This issue shows you exactly how to use Claude as a study critic, not just a study summarizer.
