I guess in a technical sense, but I think most clinicians reading studies like this want some sort of take-home, and in many ways "we just don't know" in terms of benefit for an intervention that has definite risks is pretty similar to "unlikely to be of benefit"

For the sake of argument: would you support a conclusion "unlikely to benefit" if the trial had enrolled a total of 4 people?
