Stanford Identifies Drug that May Improve Cardiac Stents

"Stanford researchers have now identified a drug to coat cardiac stents that helps prevent in-stent stenosis without affecting the healing of the blood vessel lining. Their new research is described in a paper published this month in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. Dr. Euan Ashley, associate professor of cardiovascular medicine and genetics at Stanford University Medical Center, led the research team."

How long a research paper needs to be?

"The paper that first announced the double helical structure of DNA made Watson and Crick household names, earned them a share of a Nobel Prize and has since been cited 5,300 times. The entire article took up just a single page of A4 with one small illustration."

The graphic below is from an article by Compound Interest on the various types of scientific evidence. I came across this post first in the Science on Google+ community where it was posted by Gianmario Scotti (thank you!). The evidence is arranged from weakest (top) to strongest (bottom). As Gianmario correctly pointed out, it appears to be biased towards medical/clinical science, but (a) it is a "a rough guide," and (b) it is a helpful starting point to discussing acceptable types of scientific evidence.
