The Essential Evidence

This book is a clinically focused reference guide that details some of the most influential medical trials in internal medicine. It is designed for medical students, residents, and early-career clinicians. It helps to bridge the gap between academic literature and bedside decision-making. Each trial is concisely summarized with structured sections that highlight key findings, clinical application, guideline relevance, and how to reference the study during teaching rounds. The goal is to provide a practical, high-yield resource that enhances evidence-based practice and prepares trainees to speak confidently about landmark research. The nine areas of clinical medicine discussed are general internal medicine, cardiology, pulmonology, critical care, endocrinology, nephrology, hematology/oncology, rheumatology, gastroenterology and infectious diseases. In an era of information overload, The Essential Evidence: The 100 Landmark Trials Every Clinician Should Know solves the problem of accessibility and relevance by curating some of the most practice changing studies, written in a digestible and applicable format.
