title: [Glossary of terms and concepts used in scientific evidence based cardiology. Part II: clinical trials].
abstract: The papers published by the Revista about Evidence-Based Cardiology (EBC) have, so far, discussed general aspects of the theory as well as practice of EBC, using simple terms and concepts. We need a detailed description of the general, as well as specific, concepts applicable to EBC, in order to understand better this methodology and to facilitate the reading. In this second article (the first--on general aspects--was published in the last issue of the Revista) we present a glossary of terms applicable to clinical trials and systematic reviews.
