You can't draw firm conclusions from the slide, that is the point, but if read fairly, it infers all placebos have evented. If that was not the case, there would be no grey needed in the slide at all. By using the grey, then placing it in the key, they are directing one to conclude all placebos have evented -- which may very well be the case by that time, and since the shipping records were available, this would cover their butt? It's pretty simple to me. It makes it unknowable to outsiders, but nonetheless makes it public information.

you wrote:

Interesting that they put the arms at 67 and 33 percent, because they would have presumably known that wasn't the case.
Maybe they didn't know at that time?
It should have been 70 and 30 percent.



Perhaps that is why the column header reads "Original Randomization"

So does this imply that they already knew that the Current Randomization was not equal to the Original Randomization?
