This interactive webinar provides participants with a hands-on opportunity to apply knowledge from the didactic lecture on critical appraisal of clinical trials by analyzing real-world trial examples alongside an expert panel. Through guided discussions and Q&A sessions, participants will systematically assess study validity, methodology, and results, perform risk of bias assessments, and evaluate the precision and applicability of treatment effects to their patient population. By honing these critical appraisal skills, nephrologists will be empowered to interpret research evidence effectively and make informed, evidence-based decisions to optimize patient care.

The critical appraisal of research evidence is a crucial skill for kidney specialists to help inform their patient care. This interactive webinar on the critical appraisal of clinical trials forms part of the “Interpreting the Evidence Series” that provides nephrologists the knowledge base and skill set to critically appraise and interpret common study types, including clinical trials, meta-analyses and network meta-analyses through didactic lectures provided by an expert followed by an interactive webinar session with an expert panel to apply their knowledge gained and ask questions.
