yeah so in that case 'a trial of 1 proves nothing' is especially misleading. this seems like very strong evidence.

- SeanDav 13y agoWhat happens if it turns out that the treatment is fatal in 30% of cases? A trial of 2 would not necessarily show this type of thing. That is why one cannot extrapolate this without much more information i.e. more trials.
- gfodor 13y agonobody is saying that more trials are unnecessary. my point is to emphasize the limited data so far is compelling, and that it goes beyond a 'trial of 1'.
