Evidence-informed language: interpretation and impact on intentions to treat – results of an online survey of medical students and specialists in German-speaking countries by Sven Benson, Reinhard Griebenow, Justine Schmidt, Henrik Herrmann

“…However, use of the subjunctive mood (‘could’) resulted in 87.3% correct differentiations. (2) Even with only four types of clinical practice recommendations (positive/negative and strong/weak), interpretation and translation into intention to treat, respectively, showed a heterogeneous picture: while the presentation of a strong clinical recommendation led to largely congruent responses, the interpretation of weak recommendations showed a high variability, with no clear response pattern for intentions to treat. Responses from physicians and medical students were largely comparable.Conclusion This study demonstrates limitations in the currently used linguistic expressions of strength of evidence and clinical practice recommendations and supports the need to prospectively test effects of language on intentions to treat prior to implementation of a certain wording. …”

Characteristics of Soil Active Carbon Fractions and Carbon Pool Stability in Major Forest Types in Northern Daxing’an Mountains by LIU Beibei, CAI Tijiu

“…[Objective] Soil organic carbon is an important component of the carbon cycle in forest ecosystems, and active organic carbon can indicate changes in soil carbon pools. Studying the pattern of change of soil active carbon fractions and carbon pool stability in different forest types is of great significance to the understanding of the biogeochemical processes of the carbon cycle, and can provide a basis for the management of ecosystem carbon pools oriented to carbon sequestration and emission reduction. …”
