Conclusion Critical analysis of a research publication can be a challenging task. The reader must consider the potential for type I and type II random errors, as well as systematic error introduced by biases including selection bias, observer bias, and reference standard bias. Screening includes an additional set of challenges related to lead time, length bias, and overdiagnosis. References 1. Moher D, Schulz K, Altman D. JAMA 2001;285:1987–1991. 2.

In systematic error, regardless of the sample size, the bias would not allow the researcher to hit the center of the target.

Systematic error is not affected by sample size but is rather a function of flaws in the study design, data collection, and analysis.
