Evidence-based medicine and critical appraisal — branching viva

Opening (candidate)

I would treat this as a structured critical appraisal rather than a result handover. First I would frame the question in PICO terms, then judge the internal validity with RoB 2 before reading the results, then extract the absolute effect and its confidence interval, and finally assess applicability to the patient and rate the certainty with GRADE. ^{[2] [7]}
