It is considered foundational to the field of metascience.

Wruble is concerned with "the unintended consequences of medical testing" [10] and along with co-author Joann Elmore has written about her skepticism of computer aided diagnosis as a tool for detecting breast cancer. [11] [12] A paper that she contributed to, "Effective Radiology Reporting" [13] is often cited in papers on incidentaloma.
