It is not a randomized, double-blind type drug study that first comes to my mind. It is an examination of 96,000 medical records.

My personal belief and medical training lead me to accept it as good medical practice and would unequivocally follow the conclusions as valid.

But understand the technical details of the study and be prepared for right-wing ideologues to push back because, in their vast medical knowledge, they prefer another type of study.

Any type of study that proves their already-foregone political conclusions.
