The p-value reported comes from a 1-sided test of the null hypothesis that the intervention is no better than the control, using an analysis of covariance model with the global statistical test as the dependent variable and treatment-group assignment as the independent variable, adjusting for baseline covariates that were significantly (p < 0.15) different between comparison groups.
