This book is written for the many health professionals who are regularly frustrated by elegant but ambiguous descriptions of results of data analysis. It uses articles of the New England Journal of Medicine to demonstrate how ambiguous descriptions of results of data analysis may be read, so that it is clear what they do and do not reveal. These demonstrations also show how statistics is misused.
