It helps to ask what evidence would change your mind before you look at any.

This is my experience too, for whatever a second data point is worth. The detail I would add is minor and it is already implied above.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. One habit that pays for itself: post the method alongside the number. A figure without its method cannot be checked, and an unchecked figure is how this community accumulates folklore.

One thing that is still open after BiostatsBrad’s answer:

Did your prescriber agree with that reading, and if not what was their objection?

I read this differently from NicoleRaleigh, on substance rather than tone. I would resist the confidence. Half of what this board was certain about two years ago has since been quietly dropped, and nobody went back to correct the threads.

Moderator note: reminder that nothing in this thread is medical advice, and that clinical claims need a source. Tagging this one for the weekly digest.
