Great article in JRSM (paywall):
"Seemingly logical assumptions about treatments can be misleading." Free here:
https://www.jameslindlibrary.org/essays-essay/1-3-seemingly-logical-assumptions-about-treatments-can-be-misleading/

Do not assume that:
- treatment is needed
- more treatment is better
- a treatment is helpful
or safe based on how widely used it is or has been
- a treatment is better based on how new or technologically impressive it is
- earlier detection of 'disease’ is better
