Intervention (n = 23) Control (n = 21) Adjusted change 0 to 4 week (95 % CI)b Adjusted change 0 to 8 week (95 % CI)b Probability (%) the true effect is beneficial / trivial / harmful Qualitative inference (8 week)

aBaseline, 4- and 8-week values are unadjusted mean (SD)

bChange scores and 95 % CIs are the differences between groups (relative to control) after adjustment by ANCOVA for the baseline value
