From the guidelines: > Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that." From the paper: > Strengths and Limitations ... Further research with ... a placebo control is needed to better ascertain the ... efficacy of this intervention among patients with MDD. > Conclusions ... Further studies are needed with active treatment or placebo controls The paper explicitly mentions that there's no placebo control, so I'm not sure what you're trying to point out with your comment.
