No explanation of what an 'outcome' counts as
This article doesn't adequately define or explain what an 'outcome' is intended to mean in this context. If a researcher engages in 'outcome switching', what are they actually 'switching'? Their summary of the tests? The recorded results? The stated aims of the trial? This article essentially just says "outcome switching is when you switch an outcome, and it's bad". The word 'outcome' has too many potential interpretations to be used so heavily in this article without a definition or concrete example. 86.24.65.230 (talk) 09:44, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Agreed, it appears to be professional jargon used within the medical research community. The concept needs to be explained in a way that a non-specialist readership can understand. --Ef80 (talk) 11:04, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I have quickly added a definition to the lead, will add a proper example tonight —Femke 🐦 (talk) 11:19, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
