this was excellent and necessary context on all fluff pieces like the OP. how can we automate this kind of analysis?

  You can't automate it. You have to look at the data and charts to figure out the specifics you want and then you plug and chug. I haven't looked deeply at this though but whenever researchers use relative risk and it shows a profound effect, I always calculate the absolute risk to make sure that the intervention is effective. Many researchers go to relative risk because it shows better results!

  I know everyone hates "I asked ChatGPT" comments but...I feel it's relevant here. It came to roughly the same conclusion as the gp comment when provided with the study PDF. https://chatgpt.com/share/66eb09e3-7a74-8008-afa8-3b60161d2497 https://chatgpt.com/share/66eb09e3-7a74-8008-afa8-3b60161d24... (Though obviously this approach still requires you to go and look at the PDF yourself to make sure it isn't making anything up)

    I think that ChatGPT result is a Rorschach test, it wrote things like "The percentage reduction could be exaggerated based..." Could is doing a lot of work in letting you interpret what it's saying however you like.
