Based on preliminary data or technical feasibility, not patient outcomes. Promoted through citation padding, buzzwords, and self-referential literature. Frequently seen in fields like imaging, AI, or molecular diagnostics. Rarely adopted in clinical practice due to cost, complexity, or lack of utility. academic_mirage.txt Last modified: 2025/06/20 15:38by administrador
