JAMA Forum: For second line diabetes medications, an observational study goes where RCTs haven’t

My latest JAMA Forum post is about a recent study that found that a common diabetes drug causes harm. I discussed this study previously, but my JAMA Forum approach is more tutorial about methods. I encourage you to read it. And, I welcome your feedback, as noted at the end of the post.
