[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 1257035, member: 52527"] [LIST] [*]I said that NICE guidelines are based on the best [B]available[/B] evidence not the best [B]possible[/B] evidence. :( Pharmaceutical companies tend not to publish results that are unfavourable to their product, so the published evidence is biased in their favour.
