Please note that the author of that thread has strong financial interests which would be damaged by this result. (He is the CEO of a company that seeks to use CRISPR to alter genes which lead to cholesterol production.)
- carbocation 7y agoHow is his potential conflict of interest, which you have stated accurately, relevant to the need to adjust for treatment effects? Also, I created those graphs and sent them to him, so (1) he didn't create the graphs or influence how they were created, and (2) and I have no financial interests in that company. His company plans to produce a molecule that disrupts PCSK9 production, thereby reducing LDL-cholesterol. If you think that the conflict of interest influenced the analysis in a way that you would have done differently, what is the alternative approach by which you suggest analyzing the data?
