To the Editor: For the study by Chen and colleagues, the Journal provided the following taglines: “Early intervention not resuscitation reduces deaths” on the cover of the issue; and “Mortality has decreased due to earlier intervention rather than advances in resuscitation” in the Contents on page 119. These statements contrast with the article's title and contents, which included: “It is an observational study and, as such, we cannot assume any causality for the relationships identified”. Does the Journal believe its taglines accurately represented the article?
