The distinction that resolves most of these threads is between what is true on average and what is true for one person.

True, with the qualification that this is a self-selected group. The people for whom it did not work post less, and that shapes everything we think we know.

Liver ultrasound comparison for liver and MASH: my hepatologist ordered serial ultrasounds to track NAFLD regression.

Genuinely useful, thank you. I had the facts and not the framework.

Worth saying that the confident version of this is more useful to the person writing it than to the person reading it.

One concrete data point for the thread. If you are going to change something, change one thing and give it long enough to express itself. Four weeks is the usual minimum for anything pharmacological on this board, and two weeks of data has told you almost nothing.

I would rather be corrected than agreed with, if it comes to it.

Moderator note: the sourcing question belongs in the vendor section and has been split out. No action needed from anybody.
