The Efficacy Paradox. A trial might prove one intervention (treatment y) as efficacious, because it is superior to a placebo control, yet this efficacious treatment might be ineffective compared with another treatment (treatment x), which is indistinguishable from its own placebo (placebo x), because the non-specific effects in treatment x are larger.
