comment on [Delay] two weeks in a transit hub, then delivered fine in c/intlshipping · -4 points · 2 days ago
origin, destination, carrier, month — post all four or the report is noise
comment on [Question] does carrier choice matter more than origin city in c/intlshipping · 28 points · 5 days ago
Ordered from the warehouse in Denmark instead of origin and the whole customs question disappeared. 7 days, door to door.
comment on [Trial Data] STEP 1 vs SURMOUNT-1 side by side, with the caveats in c/trialwatch · 126 points · 7 days ago
Cardiovascular outcome trials are powered for events, not for weight, and are typically run in a different population with different inclusion criteria. Reading a weight number out of one is reading a secondary endpoint.
comment on [Explainer] HOMA-IR is crude and free, track it anyway in c/bloodwork · 1 points · 8 days ago
I would not draw a line through two points, especially when the second was taken at a different time of day.
comment on [Stats] the placebo arm lost weight too. always ask by how much. in c/trialwatch · 23 points · 8 days ago
This. Intention-to-treat versus completer analysis routinely moves the headline by several points.
comment on [Discussion] reship policy is the most underrated vendor differentiator in c/intlshipping · 3 points · 12 days ago
the lane is the unit of analysis, not the supplier
comment on [Paper] ATTAIN-1 — an oral pill with no food restrictions is a bigger deal than the % suggests in c/trialwatch · 16 points · 15 days ago
Disagree — that figure is from the diabetes programme and you are quoting it as an obesity endpoint.
comment on [Paper] ATTAIN-1 — an oral pill with no food restrictions is a bigger deal than the % suggests in c/trialwatch · -31 points · 16 days ago
SURPASS is the diabetes programme and reports glycaemic endpoints
comment on [Confirmed] group buy exit scam, 3.4k, full timeline and screenshots in c/scamalerts · 57 points · 19 days ago
Small fix — the name you are describing is in the wider-market table with almost nothing on file, not in the documented twenty.
comment on [Confirmed] group buy exit scam, 3.4k, full timeline and screenshots in c/scamalerts · 42 points · 20 days ago
Correcting my own post: the payment date was the 14th, not the 4th. The gap is smaller than I made it sound.
comment on [Confirmed] group buy exit scam, 3.4k, full timeline and screenshots in c/scamalerts · 1 points · 21 days ago
Nearly paid a cloned storefront. Caught it because one character in the domain was wrong and I paste rather than type.
comment on Spain: carrier, and what it actually costs here in c/intlshipping · 74 points · 28 days ago
Cosigning the seasonality point. February and August on the same lane are different animals.
comment on [Discussion] lane is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/intlshipping · -12 points · 1 months ago
Split one order across two months on purpose to compare summer and winter. Four days apart, same carrier, same route.
comment on [Meta] the FLOW rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/trialwatch · 16 points · 1 months ago
Absolute or relative risk reduction?
comment on does MASH actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/survodutide · 1 points · 1 months ago
Correction: that is the imaging endpoint, not the histological one.
This is the framing the board needs. It is a hepatic programme first.
comment on does MASH actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/survodutide · 9 points · 1 months ago
research material is not approved for human use, which is why the clinical record here is thin
comment on [PSA] STEP is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/trialwatch · 4 points · 1 months ago
phase 2 finds a dose, phase 3 measures the effect
comment on [Question] Canada — has anyone got a straight answer on DHL in c/intlshipping · 3 points · 1 months ago
a lane with four reports is not yet a lane
comment on genuine question about area percent that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/coa · 39 points · 2 months ago
Spent four months confusing area% and mass% in every post I made here. One explainer thread and it clicked permanently.
comment on the STEP thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/trialwatch · 1 points · 2 months ago
How long was the randomised phase before any extension?
comment on [Meta] the ALT rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/bloodwork · 59 points · 3 months ago
a single hs-CRP outside range is a reason to repeat, not to panic
comment on [Vendor] BCH vs KP on the same compound, same month — both cleared 98.5% in c/survodutide · 4 points · 3 months ago
Not convinced. Imaging-based fat fraction is not the same as a histological response and the paper is explicit about that.
comment on [PSA] exit scam is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/scamalerts · 1 points · 3 months ago
Lost money once, years ago, to a shop that pushed hard for a decision the same day. Every time I see that pressure now I close the tab.
comment on reading certificate of analysis threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/coa · 24 points · 3 months ago
Batch number and date of analysis, are both on there?
comment on [Lab] QST tirz — Janoshik came back 99.5% against a claimed 99.0% in c/scamalerts · 2 points · 3 months ago
report it here with dates, not adjectives
comment on someone explain baseline labs to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/bloodwork · 12 points · 3 months ago
draw at the same point in the week if you want comparability
comment on [Lab] QSC BPC — Janoshik came back 98.7% against a claimed 98.5% in c/coa · 6 points · 4 months ago
Batch number and date of analysis, are both on there?
comment on three years of ApoB threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/bloodwork · 2 points · 4 months ago
draw at the same point in the week if you want comparability
comment on reading batch threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/coa · 1 points · 4 months ago
This. Area percent answers "what fraction of what the detector saw was the peak I wanted", and people read it as "how much peptide is in the vial".
comment on why does nobody talk about SELECT in c/trialwatch · 270 points · 5 months ago
Open-label extensions lose their randomisation. Anybody still enrolled at week 104 is a selected group and the numbers describe that group.
comment on related substances are the most under-discussed thing on this board in c/coa · 3 points · 5 months ago
HPLC-UV and LC-MS answer different questions
comment on MASH — my 24-week log, condensed into one table in c/survodutide · 15 points · 5 months ago
Looked for independent results across this whole site and found almost none. Worth knowing before forming an opinion.
comment on why does nobody talk about baseline labs in c/bloodwork · 30 points · 5 months ago
I would not draw a line through two points, especially when the second was taken at a different time of day.
comment on genuine question about COA that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/coa · 281 points · 8 months ago
Ask what the stability statement was written against — temperature, light, and whether it was the lyophilised powder or the reconstituted solution. Those are three different claims.
comment on SURPASS — 6 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/trialwatch · 56 points · 8 months ago
Agreed. Half the arguments on this site are two people quoting different trials at each other without noticing.
comment on [Meta] the FLOW rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/trialwatch · 1 points · 9 months ago
Compared myself to a trial mean for about six months before realising the trial arm had dietitian contact every fortnight.
comment on does SELECT actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/trialwatch · 366 points · 10 months ago
The registered protocol is public. Comparing the registered primary endpoint with the reported one is a two-minute check and it is how outcome switching gets caught.
comment on my ALT moved and I cannot work out whether dual agonist is why in c/survodutide · 128 points · 10 months ago
That is an escalation schedule for an unapproved compound and this board does not host those.
comment on [Results] 51 weeks on 1.7mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring in c/bloodwork · 32 points · 11 months ago
lab reference ranges are not treatment targets
comment on [Question] cloned site — what am I missing here in c/scamalerts · 60 points · 11 months ago
Domain age, registrar and certificate issuance date are all public and take about a minute to check. A site claiming years of history on a months-old domain is the cheapest signal available.
