Good find. I like how honest and complete their analysis is. It's one of the first I've read that mentions in peanut OFC that the most severe were likely out of the data, and also names a lot of the limitations of their use of review.

I'm right there with you TT    :)


Of course, we could get all philosophical and ponder the definition of "accomplished" ...   :P
