picture of journal article:: title: Noninferiority and Efficiency/Revenue Facilitation (NERF) Endpoints Shifting Grounds of Argument in Health AI Interventional Studies; abstract: This article investigates ethical hazards associated with argumentative shifts following the emergence of combined non-inferiority and effi-ciency/revenue facilitation (NERF) endpoints, with particular attention to research on artificial intel-ligence (AI) in health and medicine. The study pre-sented here adopts a Toulmin argumentative analysis approach to investigate the dominant persuasive log-ics of twenty-three health AI trials evaluating NERF endpoints. In so doing, the article demonstrates how the argumentative logics of NERF trial reports shifts away from health outcomes as the putative evidence base for adopting novel interventions toward an argu-mentative model that prioritizes economic benefits over patient benefits. Ultimately, the article argues that new logic of NERF endpoints is consistent with and risks accelerating the harms to patient care that arise from increased financialization of the healthcare sector. If the use of NERF endpoints and attendant logics continue to grow unchecked, they could result in significant harms to patient health and well-being.

Five presenters of various races, ethnicities, genders, and outfits in red, black, gray, and cream sit behind a conference table responding to questions. Margaret is making a dramatic gesture toward her shoulders with both hands and the other folks on the roundtable are chuckling.

Yesterday's #4c25 session with @adahubrig.bsky.social, Jo Hsu, @jadeshiva.bsky.social, and Julie Kidder: queer / crip / race / life stories, survival techniques, resistance, awkward confessions, and glitter. I am grateful. Here's a link to our notes, scripts, and slides! bit.ly/cripcompany
