Chapter 18 is really about writing a thesis!
Liu Chun and her friends had been roommates for six years and got along quite well; they were all people who could take a joke.
Liu Chun immediately touched his pointed chin: "Fine, let's see how Chen Zhuoan behaves."
Liu Chun then put down her water glass, clapped her hands, and suggested, "How about we order coffee delivery together?"
"It's so hot today."
Chen Chunyu didn't refuse, but simply asked, "Aren't you afraid you won't be able to sleep?"
Liu Chun: "I plan to stay up all night to read some papers and try to find an idea. Maybe I can get a meta-analysis paper published in an SCI journal!"
Chen Chunyu nodded: "Then let's go together."
Although meta-analysis papers may not have high scientific and technical content, publishing a meta-analysis in 10 years is still not easy.
First of all, this concept is relatively new, and many people don't understand the process of writing a meta analysis and are still in the learning stage!
Eight-year medical students occasionally use meta-analysis, a purely data analysis-based paper, to solidify their research foundation.
At this point, it's relatively easy to publish meta-analysis articles.
The two started sending QQ messages to their boss to place their orders.
In those days, food delivery was not very developed, and orders were usually delivered by familiar customers or the restaurant owner.
However, when the two finished ordering, they noticed that Chen Zhuoan was typing away on his keyboard, seemingly having already downloaded the literature and references.
When the two turned to look at him, Chen Zhuoan had already opened the RevMan software and started extracting data from the paper!
The meta-analysis of 10 years ago was not as sophisticated as that of later generations. Without the intervention of bioinformatics analysis and Python, it relied entirely on manual methods.
Liu Chun was stunned after reading it: "Holy crap... Xiao Chen, please don't tell me you're serious!"
"You didn't just randomly download these documents, did you?"
Chen Zhuoan had a precise memory of every word from every paper he had read.
He could recite all the references in a paper by heart.
All RCTs included in the meta-analysis will be circled in the references.
So... Chen Zhuoan appears to be writing a thesis, but in reality, he's just plagiarizing.
At most, add one English-to-English translation!
Although the paper he intended to "simulate" lacked original data, this original data could be extracted from other reference papers.
Moreover, Chen Zhuoan had also read these references and remembered the textual properties in them very well!
Therefore, Chen Zhuoan was simply transferring data!
"Guess?" Chen Zhuoan continued to look up the relevant RCT papers. After glancing at them a few times, he imported the data into Revman exactly as it was.
Liu Chun's expression was exaggerated: "Chen Chunyu, he's cheating!"
"It's either a X-ray vision cheat or a memory cheat."
"Just a few glances, did you even get a clear look at the data?"
Chen Chunyu naturally shook his head!
Chen Zhuoan's 13-year meta-analysis included only thirteen RCT papers.
Two of them were published in 11.
Therefore, this meta-analysis only requires including 11 RCT papers, resulting in a total of eleven sets of data.
So... registration is quite quick.
More than two hundred data points were manually entered into Revman by Chen Zhuo's security department in less than half an hour.
Chen Zhuoan had long since memorized Revman, the operating software.
After drawing the forest plot, funnel plot, and sensitivity analysis plot, the results will naturally emerge.
Liu Chun and Chen Chunyu planned to write a meta-analysis, and of course, they had read papers on the subject.
Therefore, they immediately recognized that the forest plot and funnel plot in this meta-analysis were both effective.
"What are you doing?" Chen Chunyu's mouth opened, and his already broad face looked even more square!
Liu Chun suddenly realized: "Xiao Chen, that's not fair! How much suffering did you secretly endure to show off like this?"
"You must have secretly memorized all the data beforehand, right?"
Chen Zhuoan remained calm and did not reply.
Then I created a new Word document and started writing the title.
For medical students, especially those who need to write papers and medical records, being able to touch type on a full keyboard is a fundamental skill.
After creating a new Word document, Chen Zhuoan began writing.
Paper title and abstract.
It's all in English!
Chen Zhuoan simply pressed the delete key once; he didn't change a single word!
Chen Chunyu was genuinely panicked: "Did you memorize the paper and then just copy it?"
Chen Zhuoan turned to look at Chen Chunyu, a bright smile on his face: "Guess?"
When Chen Zhuoan turned his head, he was still typing on the keyboard.
The words appeared smoothly in the Word document, with the spaces perfectly separating them.
The most amusing thing is that when Chen Zhuoan was typing blindly, he even noticed the capital letters!
"Screw you!" Chen Chunyu turned away, somewhat angry.
Chen Zhuoan definitely had ill intentions and wanted to disrupt his Dao heart; he wasn't going to fall for it!
Hepatobiliary surgery is the right path for him, not orthopedics!
Chen Chunyu then began to examine the paper as well!
To write a meta-analysis, you first need to have a direction for writing the meta-analysis.
This direction also needs a sufficient number of RCT-type research papers.
Both factors are indispensable.
Therefore, finding the right direction is not easy.
Those who have published papers may not be able to analyze the direction, while those who have a direction may not have enough papers.
Many of Chen Chunyu's ideas were instantly killed before they even began...
Four hours later, it was already past midnight.
Liu Chun's astonished voice rang out again: "You really just changed the format and sent it like that?"
Chen Zhuoan countered, "What else?"
"Do you really think I'm joking with Chen Chunyu?"
When publishing an SCI paper, it is necessary to make minor adjustments according to the format required by the journal.
This includes the citation format for titles, body text, and references.
However, these all come with software.

Chen Zhuoan checked the author order again.
One author is Chen Zhuoan, and another author is Su Xiheng.
Corresponding authors: Zhuoan Chen and Anhua Dong.
Second author, Liu Chun.
Third work, by Chen Chunyu.
The contact information was provided by Xiangya Hospital, and Chen Zhuoan used his own 163 email address.

Chen Zhuoan put his hands down from the keyboard.
That's all for now!
Liu Chun turned around quickly: "Chen Chunyu, Little Chen really threw it out. This is no joke."
Chen Chunyu turned his head away, gritting his teeth: "You didn't even look at your teacher before submitting it..."
"You're really ruthless when it comes to putting on an act."
Chen Zhuoan, in a condescending tone, continued, "Who said I didn't post it?"
"I sent it... but my teacher doesn't need it changed!"
"Chunyu...you're only a third author...you don't mind, do you?"
Although Chen Chunyu's Dao heart did not collapse, it was truly affected: "Get out!"
If Chen Zhuoan were just writing it down, it wouldn't matter.
He was just joking.
But after Chen Zhuoan wrote it, he adjusted the format and even included his teacher's name in a cute way before sending it out.
Who would make such a joke out of nowhere?
Is Chen Zhuoan seriously making a scene?
