k.asante, post #2: Filing a mild objection to the consensus on PIONEER 6. Mild because I might be wrong; an objection because nobody has addressed the case that does not fit. Go to post

Coming back to the opening post, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.

Reading this PIONEER 6 thread as someone who came in with a fixed view: the third and seventh replies moved me and the confident ones did not.

i.wojcik, post #6: STEP 1 (N Engl J Med 2021): The pivotal obesity trial for semaglutide and the reference point for most subsequent comparison. Mean weight reduction was substantially larger than anything previously achieved pharmacologically. The conclusion is tentative; the arithmetic underneath it is not. Go to post

Understood. Thank you for being specific about the limits of it.

Appreciated. The plain phrasing does more work here than a longer post would.

Sessions on negative or null results are consistently the most instructive and the hardest to get anyone to attend.

It is worth checking rather than assuming, which costs nothing.

Marking my uncertainty on PIONEER 6 explicitly. I am confident about the direction, much less confident about the size, and not confident at all that it generalises past the case in the first post.
