  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
The most significant weakness of this study was the sample size, which was sufficient only to detect large differences across the three treatments and limited our ability to identify predictors of response or adverse effects.
