Abstract

The core of science is reasoning; assessment tools are an integral part of it. Mathematical/statistical calculation is a tool and is not equivalent to clinical reasoning. Statistics establish mathematical significance but do not always equally highlight clinical relevance. The editorial wants to renew the importance of literature while remembering the true meaning of evidence-based medicine, the real value of the impact factor, and p < 0.05. Dogmas are associated with a particular doctrine, not with the scientific path itself. Science, research, and clinicians should always remember the reason that guides their work, the well-being of the human being.

Keywords: diaphragm; evidence-based medicine; fascia; impact factor; osteopathic medicine.
