《柳叶刀》现在纳入了对提交论文的统计审查，这些论文在常规审查后仍然是出版的候选人。我们在这里总结了191个这样的文件，1990年11月和1991年6月之间收到的统计审查注意到的批评。只有54%的论文被认为是可接受的或修改后可接受的;其他的要么被建议拒绝（14%），要么进行更实质性的修改和重新审查（32%）。在大约一半的论文中发现方法和结果的描述不充分;大约四分之一的论文摘要和结论不充分。在48篇论文中出现了重大的推理错误，并与这些论文中对分析或设计的重大批评齐头并进。统计审查的自然焦点是研究设计和统计分析是否证明得出的结论是合理的。在这方面，作者还有改进的余地。
The Lancet now incorporates statistical review of submitted papers which remain candidates for publication after conventional review. We summarise here criticisms noted by the statistical reviewers for 191 such papers received between November, 1990, and June, 1991. Only 54% of papers were deemed acceptable or acceptable after revision; the others were either recommended for rejection (14%) or for more substantial revision and re-review (32%). Descriptions of methods and of results were found inadequate in about half of the papers; about one-quarter of papers had inadequate abstracts and conclusions. Major errors of inference were made in 48 papers and went hand in hand with major criticisms of analysis or design in those papers. The natural focus of statistical review is whether conclusions drawn are justified by study design and statistical analysis. In this, there is room for improvement by authors.
