Recent Critiques

Illustrative readings of published trials. See the kinds of issues Aqrab surfaces.

Useful RCT signal, but thromboembolic events keep the benefit-risk interpretation from looking clean.

MAPLE-HCM2.7/5
Aficamten vs Metoprolol · NEJM 2025

Comparator deterioration makes the apparent treatment advantage hard to interpret causally.

TEMPO-12.5/5
Tavapadon for Parkinson's · Lancet Neurology 2025

A 33% attrition/dropout pattern creates a major threat to interpretability and blinding.

TRACE4.1/5
Transradial vs Transfemoral · Stroke 2026

A clean negative/non-inferiority result that still answers the clinical question with useful precision.
