In the next few days, in addition to going to surgery, Lu Cheng spent almost all of his time writing articles except for changing the cells in the middle.

SCI articles are not easy to write, and they must be rigorous and rigorous, especially meta-analysis articles.

Because meta-analysis, in medical clinical evidence, belongs to the first echelon of evidence.

Therefore, when the article is written, it is possible for someone to read it in detail based on the conclusions of the article, and it may also be applied to clinical practice.

Lin You also knew that Lu Cheng was writing articles, so he didn't call Lu Cheng to go to the outpatient clinic on Saturday.

Of course, Lin You didn't urge Lu Cheng to ask him if he had finished writing.

For general meta articles, the first thing to do is to find all the articles related to the views of the article through at least three statistical source websites.

The most commonly used databases are Pubmed, Web of science, and the cochrone.

Then we need to select from them, eliminate case reports, basic research articles, etc., and then classify them.

Depending on the type of article, it can also be divided into: randomized controlled trials, also called RCTs, retrospective medical record analysis, prospective studies, etc.

The best meta-analysis, all the articles adopted, must be RCTs, and only when the number of articles is really insufficient, will the data from retrospective medical records or prospective research articles be used for meta-analysis.

What Lu Cheng wants to conduct is a meta-analysis of meta-analysis, in fact, it is relatively easy to find articles.

However, from many meta-analyses, it is a lot of work to calculate the corresponding data......

In the eyes of many people, the best place to write an article is the introduction and discussion.

But in fact, no, in the article, the most difficult to write are these two parts, which require you to find enough points of view from the massive literature to support your own description, that is, it is equivalent to using the evidence of scientific research as an argument, describing your arguments layer by layer, and then analyzing the pros and cons.

It's not an easy thing to do.

However, Lin You didn't ask, and made an appointment with him on Saturday night.

Lu Cheng asked Lin You if he had time tomorrow.

Lin You doesn't have to go to the ward rounds on weekends, so naturally there is a general hospitalization to solve the affairs of the department, and there is no surgery to do, and the recent meetings are not very frequent.

Lin You then replied on WX: "Yes, let's meet in our team's own laboratory tomorrow!"

"Meet in front of the JW building. ”

"How is your article prepared, has the data been extracted?"

Lin You asked carefully, according to his idea, it is already a very good progress to be able to find out all the articles in four or five days, list them and include them in the exclusion criteria and then extract the data.

Lu Cheng directly sent a document to the past.

"Master, you can take a look first, help me get through it, I only checked it once, and we will discuss it tomorrow. ”

Lin You looked at the message sent by Lu Cheng, and he had an urge to throw away his phone.

Roaring in my heart, I'm asking you a question.

How about you give me some face?

Do you have to ask Master to say that when Master wrote the first meta, it took nearly a month?

Of course, Lin You didn't say that, but he just held back the fluctuations in his heart and clicked on the Word document.

After opening it, there was a mess of garbled characters, so Lin You directly opened his work computer.

In an instant, the context of the article came out.

In addition, because Word has built-in Endnote, it is the most widely used literature processor for medical students to write articles, and it can basically meet the formatting requirements of all journals, so it is often used in writing articles in the medical field.

Lin You, as a veteran of writing articles, first checked Lu Cheng's formatting.

Seeing the document sent by Lu Cheng, he set the format of the references to a closed state, which saved him a lot of worry.

Anyone who has ever written an article in English may know that the settings of endnote are different on different computers, so the references may be garbled again. Only when it is turned off, or converted to PDF format, is it original.

However, the PDF format is difficult to change, although it can be changed, but that kind of software costs money, doesn't it?

Medical students are a bunch of poor people haha, if they had to spend money on everything, they would have died of poverty a long time ago, and they couldn't resist it even if they had a mine at home.

Lin You looked at it patiently, and originally planned that even if Lu Cheng sent it over was a piece of, he had to endure it, after all, he was the one who tempted him to write an article first, and he had to bear everything.

But looking at it, Lin You noticed that something was wrong.

I really immersed myself......

Two hours.

Lin Youcai finished reading the article.

Originally, at Lin You's level, as long as you read a summary, basically everything in the article is understood.

But what Lu Cheng wrote this time was a level that Lin You had rarely been exposed to before.

Generally, most of the meta meta is written by internal medicine bigwigs who have a lot of spare time, and the surgical bigwigs generally write about clinical research type Articles, and those who are slightly more in-depth in research are writing about cell culture and tumor-related pathways.

So Lin You hadn't read similar articles before.

However, Lin You really understood Lu Cheng's article, and the accuracy of the views quoted in it also made him quite impressed.

Even Lin You felt that even if Lu Cheng gave him the data, he wouldn't be able to write at this level.

Lu Cheng has written articles before!

Lin You was able to determine almost immediately, because Lin You really didn't know how many first drafts of the articles sent by his junior brother had been corrected, what level was that?

What level is this?

Although both made Lin You doubt life, the latter was certainly more pleasing to the eye.

Lin You only replied: "See you tomorrow!"

……

It was only when he really arrived at the JW Building that Lu Cheng knew that Lin You's status in Professor Min's heart was really not low.

Although Lin You is not qualified to have a laboratory, he has to go to the laboratory of dermatology to conduct experiments.

But Professor Min relied on his position to snatch one from the hospital alive, although the area is very small, and now there is basically no equipment, only a refrigerator, not even a cell culture incubator.

But the upside is that it has a large conference room with two rows of seats, both empty.

Air conditioning, WIFI are all available.

And it's also the hospital's intranet.

The hospital's intranet is the campus network, and the campus network is the kind that can directly download literature and does not even need to log in.

Very comfortable.

After the meeting between the master and apprentice, they directly turned on the two computers and came out, and began to discuss at the same time......

This discussion lasted another whole day.

There are also four takeaway boxes on the table.

It looks like lunch and dinner are solved in the lab.

At about seven o'clock, when Lin You finally submitted the article directly to the JAMA SURGERY magazine department, Lin You still couldn't believe that this article was actually submitted like this.

From the idea of writing it arises.

It took only six days until the review was completed.

AND IT IS ALSO SCI, JAMA SURGERY, WHICH HAS AN IF FACTOR OF 10 POINTS, ALTHOUGH IT IS ONLY A SUB-JOURNAL OF JAMA, BUT THIS IMPACT FACTOR IS PLACED HERE.

Let's just put it this way, if this article is accepted, the hospital will give Lin You a reward.

10W or so.

"Tired, right?" Lin You looked at the information that the article sent back from the mailbox had been received and the magazine department would review it as soon as possible, and looked at Lu Cheng with a little distress.

After all, this is a SCI, 6 days, no matter how high Lu Cheng's talent is?

Time accumulation is always needed, maybe, Lu Cheng has been staying up late to fight these days!

Lin You knows that Lu Cheng likes to fight very much, and from the time he was looking for him when he was in graduate school, to now, he has been fighting, remembering so many things, and mastering such a solid foundation, even if Lu Cheng never forgets it, he has to turn so many pages, so many articles, and the time to turn the pages, not to mention less, at least one or twenty days.

So have a solid skill base?

Can you just look at it?

"It's okay, Master. You go back and rest first, you've worked hard today. Lu Cheng watched the article be sent out, and he also breathed a long sigh of relief.

It was the first article in a new field that he really stepped into scientific research, and of course took it seriously.

Lin You smashed Lu Cheng's shoulder with his fist: "What nonsense are you talking about? I can make you tired, do you think your master is really so easy to fool?"

Lin You directly covered Lu Cheng's computer and his computer, then looked at Lu Cheng seriously, and asked, "Can you tell Master, why are you fighting so hard?"

"In fact, if you can complete an article of this level in a month or two, or even half a year, you have already surpassed too many people. ”

Lin You was asking seriously, but Lu Cheng didn't know how to answer.

After thinking about it, Lu Cheng still didn't say it, so as not to be laughed at, and so as not to put pressure on Lin You, he just said half-truthfully: "I never thought about studying medicine before, but since I have studied it, I must study it well, otherwise I will be too sorry for myself." Maybe that's what I'm going to do. ”

Lin You snorted coldly: "I believe that you stinky boy is weird, hurry up and clean up, I called your wife, let's get rid of the mutton." If you dare to refuse, I will knock you to death. ”

This article can really bring reputation and economic benefits to Lin You, and he will definitely give Lu some ingredients, but in fact, this is all done by Lu Cheng alone, and he, the corresponding author, feels a little blushing.

But after all, the master-apprentice relationship is here, and there is also a lack of a corresponding author. Otherwise, it's a waste, he doesn't take advantage of this, it can only be said to be too hypocritical.
