Clinical trial statistics

The brief

A medical affairs team must explain trial results to doctors accurately. Reanalyse a public trial: compare the arms on the main outcomes with the right tests and confidence intervals, check survival curves, and chart the results for a doctor audience. Good looks like: correct tests, effect sizes with uncertainty, survival analysis, and a plain-language summary.

What you will build
