ABSTRACT
AS ALREADY NOTED, OLE OLSEN AND I WERE NOT ALLOWED TO publish the major harms of screening in our 2001 Cochrane review 1 and therefore we published them in the Lancet instead. 2, 3 It would take another 5 years before the harms came out also in The Cochrane Library, and we didn’t get there easily. In fact, the series of events I shall describe here are highly unusual for an academic journal and not something I would wish others to go through.
