This para, buried deep in the paper, is the point:
A minor caveat to our findings is that the rate of
the primary outcome was substantially lower in this
study than was anticipated at the time of its conception
and design, which potentially underpowered our
ability to detect clinically meaningful differences, as
well as important interactions. Although randomized
participants had similar characteristics compared with
those who were screened but did not enroll, they could
have been at lower risk of death or major trauma because
they jumped from an average altitude of 0.6 m (SD 0.1) on
aircraft moving at an average of 0 km/h (SD 0). Clinicians
will need to consider this information when extrapolating
to their own settings of parachute use
Real studies have an equivalent para far too often.
