I bought this book because I had no training in statistics and was feeling frustrated by having to memorize meaningless things for exams. I mean, that the small term memorization of sensitivity/specificity, prevalence, odds rations, these kinds of things was hard for me and then I would forget what they meant immediately after the exam.
That is not the best way to learn medical stats. So, in despair I looked for a excellent book to really learn what is behind the small-hand notation I had been learning. This book really teaches what it all means! The author is also pretty friendly and amusing and I found that his humor was really helpful for absorbing the points he was making. He took the basic in rank and expanded it, so that now I really do know the different studies and how to interpret their consequences. Well, I am no expert but at least I have a clad working knowledge of what is behind a research article. Excellent book, and it clarifies things very well.

A statistician might find Gehlbach’s explanations a bit too simplistic, but I reckon it gives a fantastic overview of how to approach interpretation of journal articles. An attending questioned us to buy the second edition of this book when I was a 3rd Year med student, and I still use it today teaching residents. He does an brilliant job using examples from the literature to illustrate his points. And, unlike other statistical texts, the index can help you grasp topics like the null hypothesis or type I error very quickly.
