Journal Club for Android
ALLHAT, JUPITER, ARDSNet, CLOSURE, WARFASA, FACTT. Let’s face it: the sea of evidence-based medicine is vast, and wading through stacks and stacks of JAMA, NEJM, and JACC just isn't feasible. What should be at the top of the reading list?
Powered by Wiki Journal Club, Journal Club for Android focuses on the top articles in internal medicine and puts landmark trials at your fingertips. Written by physicians, these article summaries are distilled into bite-size morsels that clinicians can digest quickly. Think of it as CliffsNotes for medical research.
Journal Club includes many landmark clinical trials published in the past century, focusing on the practice-changing studies that internists and medical subspecialists ought to know handily. That means we're more likely to cover the 1981 NCDS study of dialysis in ESRD, and less likely to cover your favorite study of lixisenatide in patients with diabetes that's hot off the press.
Features:-Simple, intuitive interface-Concise bottom lines-Relevant major points-Links to PubMed and primary literature-Sort trials by name, date, specialty, and disease-Share summaries with colleagues-Integrated search-Favorites

App is good. Has good collection of trials. But it is not updated and many important trials are missing. Further in recent update section, trials entered are mostly older ones. Need to update it more frequently.
List is not updating. Can find a more comprehensive trials be reaching journal club through an internet browser.
The app is great but developers are not updating it regularly in contrast to the website, although the website is free and the app is paid. Why???
A lot of trials from the online journal wiki are not on the app. What's the point if the app then...
Needs updates, getting stale pretty quickly, so many topics that could be expanded on
very useful but should include much more trials, especially the more recent ones
Good but not kept up to date. For the price charged, I would expect it to be kept up to date
After purchased, unable to download the apps, dont know whats wrong....
Outstanding! however Geriatrics, Rheum and ID are a little abandoned.
It's dose not include updated trials
Great for evidence based medicine. Would join them soon. Keep up the good work.
Excellent app. The most useful part is that it explains why the trial was done, what the results meant, what was affected in the guideline and what the criticisms were. The data presentation were nicely displayed. The journals can be sorted by time of publish and it gave me a time sense of how the evidence emerged. These are the pearls that are not found by simply downloading the journal article. Yes, it is spoonfeeding. But you have to be spoonfed for some time before your horizons are widened enough to add your own interpretation. Not all journal articles were included, but no database is perfect. The inclusion has been impressive. Please keep up the good work.
I had used this app initially and I think it's great for students initially. The concept, layout and explanations are great when you are in a pinch for time. This of course is no substitute for critically appraising the literature yourself. My biggest feedback for this is that THIS APP DOES NOT GET UPDATED ENOUGH. In the oncology section, there are no new trials since 2015. Since then there have been several new treatments and trials that have changed practice in oncology.
This app is missing so many trials. No idea what's there inclusion criteria for including the trial in the app. Needs update on trials
Missing some studies that are on the website, e.g. the CESAR trial, which is online but not in app :( Edit: I'd love an option to show all articles, even if they are in draft.
This is a very useful and easy to use app. I just wish there were more uptodate trials in oncology
It's a great attempt. Key Nephrology trials are missing. No currency in this subspec area. E.g. Hemodiafiltration trials missing. Peritoneal Dialysis adequacy studies missing. RENAL trial missing. Recent ELAIN and AKIKI trials missing. Paucity of transplant literature. These can be improved. Please note. Thanks for doing this.
A great app when preparing for medical exams or interviews. Concise summary of the most pertinent points of landmark trials.
It's a great compilation in such a small app. Highly recommended to all doctors across all fields
Fantastic bullet points for refreshers when referring to clinical data
Excellent app...completely updated...loved it...
Perfect for fast updates
Outstanding
Great breakdowns of landmark trials however there are a lack of recent trials that have demonstrated better or more up to date therapies
Reference landmark studies on the go.
I am a PGY 3 Internal medicine resident. No other app has been of greater help (maybe uptodate) as this one during my residency. Would love if they could add major studies (new) in addition to trials. I would stop reading all journals that day. :)
Sincerely this app has really helped me through my medical training. I bought it when I was in my last year of medical school and it hasn't failed me. Helped me countless times on the wards with pimping and important, practice changing studies for the last 30 years that you not only have easy access to but are quick reads, especially for someone with a short attention span like me. I can't find a better app that does that. Definitely a must for all junior docs and physicians who want to keep up-to-date!!
While I think every physician and resident should have this app, this is absolutely crucial for anyone in academic medicine. Not only is it easy to navigate, but it has everything you would want to know about each trial, with a peefect summary and links to the PDF/website when available.
