Abstract
Recently, the concept of "Evidence-Based Medicine" has been widely accepted in clinical practices. The randomized controlled trial has been considered to be one of the most important tools for developing evidence; however, some researchers report the results of their randomized controlled trials with malicious intention and/or inappropriate methodology. Therefore, physicians should read medical articles with special care to determine whether the new therapy can be applied to their patients or not. This essay explains points of the CONSORT statement 2010, and ways to interpret results of randomized control trials critically.
