Historia de los ensayos clínicos aleatorizados

A Spanish-language history of randomised clinical trials — from James Lind's 1747 experiment on scurvy to the twentieth-century institutionalisation of the RCT as the gold standard for medical evidence. Demirdjian writes accessibly for clinicians and the piece is short, but the historical texture it offers is valuable: the RCT is a young practice, contested at every stage, and its extension to non-medical contexts is a cultural choice more than a logical inevitability. For product direction it is useful background for anyone thinking seriously about A/B testing and causal inference — knowing where the method came from clarifies what it can and cannot do. A short paper, worth its length.
