That's how the researchers interpret it. But because of the reliance on subjective measures in unblinded trials, and the dismal performance on...
You're right, it is important to be accurate in claims. What you say is correct, but what people on here care about is whether the statistically...
Sure, and thank you, @forestglip for creating the thread. I changed the first sentence minimally so that it would make sense in this thread....
