The fact that a totally negative study is being reported as a positive result is emblematic of the power of a catchy press release, because anyone who even glanced at the table of results would realize this was total nonsense

@nutritionorg I'm a bit surprised that the study was published as is. The discussion made much of the subgroup analysis, but barely even mentioned that there was no improvement on any of the primary or secondary outcomes in the main study itselfShow this thread -
I should say, the positive findings were entirely based on an analysis in statin nonusers who comprised only 50% of the study population, which also breaks randomization ping
