Figure 3. Types of Clinical Trials Based on Outcomes
Center line: Neutral relative risk/benefit; Relative risk = 1; Dotted lines show magnitude of clinically important effect. First trial: clinically beneficial effect and both ends of the confidence limit of the study are to the right of the benefit line; Second trial: statistically significant benefit, but may not be as clinically important; Third trial – neutral; Forth trial – harmful. Last two are failed trials and fail to provide useful information since confidence limits too large (indicating inadequate power or other reasons).
