The trial, despite it's size, reached a statistically significant reduction in hospital stay with a p value of 0.043


Again, the trial did not reach a stat sig reduction in hospital stay. Only the portion of those treated with HCNC is that true. How many of the 195 patients does that include? A p value of .043 has a 1 in 23 chance of happening randomly. So when you slice and dice a trial into hundreds of different permutations, you will end up with some that are stat sig solely due to randomness and the law of probabilities.
