While these aspects are important we argue that other significant aspects of trial quality impinge upon the truthfulness of the findings biological plausibility reproducibility and generalisability. We present several recent studies in critical care medicine where the design beta and alpha components of the study are seemingly satisfactory but where the aspects of biological plausibility reproducibility and generalisability show serious limitations. Accordingly we argue for more reflection definition and consensus on these aspects of the evaluation of evidence. The extent to which beliefs are based on evidence is very much less than believers suppose. Bertrand Russell 1928 Sceptical Essays Introduction The evidence-based medicine EBM movement has brought about a paradigm shift not only in medical practice and education but also in study design and in the appraisal and classification of published research in the field of critical care medicine as well as medicine in general 1 2 . The principles created by pioneers in the field of EBM are now widely accepted as
