The article provides a clear summary of the study of statin side effects, clearly stating the main finding that only 4 out of 66 listed side effects could be linked to statins through evidence. The article provides a link to the research paper allowing the reader to follow up easily if they wish. The article could potentially be seen as unbalanced as three of the four quotes came from people connected to the study, but the outside commentator also agreed with the findings so this is not a large concern. The quotations from the the different contributors frame the research in the context that misinformation around statin use needs to be addressed, and the clarity of the article aids in that aim.
