yes, all those percentages are of the 316 who provided data at follow-up. Unbelievable how they mangled the description in the paper. These people...
And of course much of the findings do not have any significance tests.
When i asked questions about Professor Crawley's questionable work, the Bristol University vice chancellor filed multiple complaints with...

in reading it again, it seems they repeat the same mistake about 6% and 9% in the discussion section as well, identifying the wrong denominator....

Thanks. someone sent me a transcript I think from youtube (I didn't even know how to upload from zoom to youtube and put it on Virology Blog, so...
They always engaged in double-talk. In the studies, they were more reserved in calling it a "modest" or "moderate" effect. In press conference,...
