Antwort

Herr Professor Kentsch bezieht sich auf die sogenannten T-Trials, die ich in meinem Artikel erwähne [1]. Die T-Trials sind einzeln publizierte Teilaspekte einer einzelnen, groß angelegten Untersuchung. Die Auswertungen der verschiedenen Daten beziehen sich in den jeweiligen Veröffentlichungen teils auf Subgruppen, teils auf die gesamte Teilnehmerzahl. Dies erschwert die Interpretation.
