I’m surprised they were able to run the study so quickly, what with this study protocol only being published in December of last year. Although I may well be confused about the long timelines between things getting done and things making it into print in this field. Do you have a link to the study’s results?
It reads to me like a sane and effective design, and I’d really be curious how it panned out. Maybe the main link can be updated to refer to the completed study.
Citation needed? The study concluded in Sept 2023 but no results were provided. Are results on these studies usually so delayed? Perhaps they didn’t get the expected result?
Calling it here: mslt, to apologize, you should say "I'm sorry, I didn't read far enough to justify my own snark. That's who screwed up here. I apologize to the poster I lashed out at"
The study may have happened since this was first written, but AFAICT the results are still absent, so it's still not newsworthy because there's no real news.
