Skills (12)

• lancet-abstract

  Use to write The Lancet's structured abstract — ≤300 words under the exact headings Background, Methods, Findings, Interpretation, Funding — leading with the clinical question, reporting the primary outcome with effect size and 95% CI, citing the registration number, and naming the funder.

• lancet-ethics

  Use to satisfy The Lancet's clinical-ethics and research-integrity requirements — ethics-committee approval and informed consent under the Declaration of Helsinki, the Declaration of interests, ICMJE author contributions, the role-of-the-funding-source statement, the data-sharing statement, patient

• lancet-figures-tables

  Use to build and check The Lancet's clinical display items — the Table 1 baseline characteristics, Kaplan–Meier curves with numbers at risk, forest plots for subgroups/meta-analyses, the CONSORT/study-flow diagram, and maps for multi-country studies — all with confidence intervals shown.

• lancet-fit

  Use when scoping a project and before any writing, to stress-test whether a study clears The Lancet's bar — clinically or public-health important, globally relevant, and likely to change practice or policy, often with an equity lens. Decides The Lancet vs a Lancet family title vs another general med

• lancet-rebuttal

  Use after Lancet reviews arrive (including the statistical reviewer and the editor's letter) to triage the decision, answer statistical and clinical comments, and draft a point-by-point response that quotes the reviewer, gives evidence, quotes the revised manuscript text, and keeps causal language c

• lancet-reporting

  Use to select and apply the correct EQUATOR reporting guideline for a Lancet manuscript — CONSORT for RCTs (with the mandatory flow diagram), STROBE for observational studies, PRISMA for systematic reviews/meta-analyses, SPIRIT for protocols — and to attach the completed checklist and study-flow dia

• lancet-research-in-context

  Use to build The Lancet's signature Research in context panel — the three mandatory headed parts (Evidence before this study, Added value of this study, Implications of all the available evidence), grounded in a systematic literature search with stated databases, terms, and dates. Mandatory for orig

• lancet-statistics

  Use to enforce The Lancet's clinical-statistics reporting — confidence intervals over bare P values, a pre-specified primary analysis, intention-to-treat with per-protocol sensitivity, multiplicity control for secondary endpoints, cautious pre-specified subgroup analyses with interaction tests, miss

• lancet-study-design

  Use to lock study design and mandatory prospective registration for a Lancet clinical manuscript — trial registration before enrollment, protocol + statistical analysis plan, and design rigor (randomization, allocation concealment, blinding, pre-specified endpoints, power, ITT). Covers observational

• lancet-submission

  Use as the final preflight before submitting to The Lancet — a complete checklist across importance, registration, reporting guideline + flow diagram, statistics, structured abstract, the Research in context panel, ethics/declarations/data-sharing, and required files. Bundles a checklist and a cover

• lancet-workflow

  Use when deciding which lancet-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing a clinical or global-health manuscript from significance test through reviewer rebuttal for The Lancet. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

• lancet-writing

  Use to structure and hold the length of a Lancet Article main text — Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion (~3000–3500 words), the Research in context panel, a limited reference list (~30), and a cautious, globally minded Discussion that does not overstate.
