@mimipele @livuninews @LivUni_IVES @NIHRresearch @AlderHeyRes Hi John. We've presented the primary results at a scientific meeting (ESpNIC2025) after they peer reviewed the abstract. The full trial report will be submitted for publication soon. The protocol and statistical analysis plan were published before end of trial to ensure validity.
