Effect Size of treatment vs. control comparisons in higher vs. lower counts in each of the six trials: In 4/6 trials, lower tender joint count had higher effect size; in one trial (3) these were nearly identical and in one trial (4), higher tender joint count had a greater effect size. For swollen counts, there were no consistent trends.
