Dichotomous nature of clinical trials. The dose, duration, and/or timing of the tested interventions influence their efficacy, so the results and conclusions often should be considered specific to the protocol and tested population, rather than a categorical endorsement or rejection of the tested therapy. PEEP, positive end-expiratory pressure; RCT, randomized controlled trials.
