Population Description
Explanation of how the number of participants for analysis was determined. Includes whether analysis was per protocol, intention to treat, or another method. Also provides relevant details such as imputation technique, as appropriate.
Treated participants. Missing values were excluded. Assessment of waist and hip circumference was added to the study schedule via protocol amendment part way through the study. This resulted in small numbers of subjects having data available for this analysis.

Method [2] Wilcoxon Rank Sum test
P Value [3] 0.1785
[1] Additional details about the analysis, such as null hypothesis and power calculation:
  Null Hypothesis: changes from baseline in the two treatment groups are equal. Alternative Hypothesis: changes from baseline in the two treatment groups are different (two sided).
[2] Other relevant information, such as adjustments or degrees of freedom:
  No adjustments were made.
[3] Additional information, such as whether or not the p-value is adjusted for multiple comparisons and the a priori threshold for statistical significance:
  No adjustments for multiple comparisons were made.

Certain Agreements:  
Principal Investigators are NOT employed by the organization sponsoring the study.
There IS an agreement between Principal Investigators and the Sponsor (or its agents) that restricts the PI's rights to discuss or publish trial results after the trial is completed.
The agreement is:
unchecked The only disclosure restriction on the PI is that the sponsor can review results communications prior to public release and can embargo communications regarding trial results for a period that is less than or equal to 60 days. The sponsor cannot require changes to the communication and cannot extend the embargo.
unchecked The only disclosure restriction on the PI is that the sponsor can review results communications prior to public release and can embargo communications regarding trial results for a period that is more than 60 days but less than or equal to 180 days. The sponsor cannot require changes to the communication and cannot extend the embargo.


Limitations and Caveats
Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
