From the other side of the consultation, briefly. If two explanations both fit, the useful question is which one predicts something the other does not. That is answerable; arguing about which sounds more plausible is not.

Correct me if the detail matters more than I have assumed.

Keep the original post as written when you update it, and add the correction underneath.

Coming at LabKate’s question from a different direction. It helps to say which part of this you are uncertain about. A precise question gets a precise answer; a general one gets everybody’s favourite anecdote.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. Say what you would expect to see if you were wrong, before you look. It is a small discipline and it changes what you notice.

Ask again with the specifics and you will get a better answer than this one.

Following on from LabKate — and this may be the naive question:

Was that from a primary source or from a summary of one?

Moderator note: reminder that nothing in this thread is medical advice, and that clinical claims need a source.
