      If you're going to use this study for anything, it's that things can get published and make the news WORLDWIDE while making basic statistical errors that most people were taught in their first year of university

          I feel...like any study like this would like involve a decently complex model to account for confounders etc... And, I mean, a control group.

          It's interventional, so imo confounders aren't that important, but with no control group it's basically meaningless

          Pretty wild that this sort of thing makes it into such a renowned journal

          This is what happens when people disregard the fact that actual skills are required in study design, data analysis, and statistics 🤷🏻‍♀️
