→‎Is a medical source unreliable if the authors are from China?: reply - would prefer to see policy-based reasoning
Line 482:
 
:::Yes we should exclude it. 80% of Chinese studies in one review were found to have falsified data [http://www.sciencealert.com/80-of-the-data-in-chinese-clinical-trial-is-fabricated]. It's not restricted to SCAM: Chinese studies are essentially never negative [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9551280]. It's an open secret [http://edzardernst.com/2016/10/data-fabrication-in-china-is-an-open-secret/]. Given the evidence that cervical spinal manipulation is potentially fatal [http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/726445], there are all kinds of reasons why we would exclude a weak positive result from a community which is ideologically predisposed to producing positive results regardless of the intervention under test. <b>[[User Talk:JzG|Guy]]</b> <small>([[User:JzG/help|Help!]])</small> 21:33, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
::::LooksThe source you provided to support the claim that "80% of Chinese studies have falsified data" is looking at pharmaceutical trials, which might be a problem outside China as well; the source says nothing about rehabilitative sciences and says nothing about mainstream medical journals publishing review articles written by Chinese authors. Your comment looks like some original research, mixed with some personal bias....what I do not see are any policy based arguments for excluding sources from Chinese authors that are published in mainstream medical journals.[[Special:Contributions/2001:56A:75B7:9B00:A5FC:56E7:D1A6:3966|2001:56A:75B7:9B00:A5FC:56E7:D1A6:3966]] ([[User talk:2001:56A:75B7:9B00:A5FC:56E7:D1A6:3966|talk]]) 21:43, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
