You missed the single most important factor. Zip down through the paper, and look at the financial conflicts of interest. Psychiatry research is massively influenced by fCOI's, and any paper with them is completely suspect.
I enjoyed this, and Iām archiving it in case I ever find myself reading one of these papers. Also-- I envy you, because if I ever wrote anything like this about one of my fields (songwriting, music teaching, etc.), it would be a miracle if I ever worked again.

This is great Owen! Iām disappointed to see that Am J Psych published this, and Iām disappointed to see Black and Zanarini did this.
