Over my knowledge, but I was glad to find out that the first signature is the person who wrote it! I did not know this....my bad.
As far as a lead technician "for a CRO signing the review has NO clue as to efficacy claims made by the lead author"....has that person been identified?
The rest of the world observations which were not the product of Dr. McFarlane's direct involvement...... my response: I surely don't know.
As far as your last sentence/paragraph.....I assume all of these doctors are better informed than anyone here from the people who want them to understand their biased opinions with private and personal conversations.....and maybe even that famous female doctor from France:
