How to read this claim

Published as an exploratory public claim: direct comparison with exact provenance, but with limits noted for supportive evidence tier, includes subjective endpoint, estimated effect size.

The underlying trial context suggests this comparison may not generalize cleanly beyond the specific tested formulations.

Upstream study enrichment was not enabled for this export, so formulation-specific trial context may be incomplete here.
