Written by medicine physicians, these article summaries are distilled into a thorough but supremely concise bottom line. Read on to flesh out the article's major points, design, interventions, outcomes, and criticisms.

We use this information to see trends in article popularity to help guide content development. We also use this information for research projects, under a Johns Hopkins University IRB-approved non-human subjects research protocol, which are published or presented at professional conferences, peer-reviewed medical literature, and in promotional materials. (See Plante TB, 2015 for an example of one such publication.)

At this time, there is no method to opt out of Google Analytics data collection for the iOS app. Users of the Android app can opt out of Google Analytics under Preferences. Users can opt out of Bitly tracking.
