It’s not worth reporting at all on such a small uncontrolled trial. There is no value in this other than providing funding for a larger trial. Discussing “why”

  >It’s not worth reporting at all on such a small uncontrolled trial. You can't categorically say so. Even sample size of one can be significant if the effect size is large enough or the outcome is surprising (like reversal instead of slowdown). Online forums suffer from "sample size meme" and "correlation is not causation" meme. People just drop them into discussion as a counterargument because that's all they know. Both of them can be proper counterarguments after you consider the context and other factors.
