I had to double back to make sure it was the PACE trials that were being commented on; I know this has been covered a million times but it never fails to astound me how all these people got away with it, not just those running the trials but the reviewersJust learnt of this recently. EVERYONE SHOULD USE THIS WEBSITE AND ARCHIVE PAGES FOR THE PURPOSE OF HISTORY .
eg. Here is a good example

"It was extremely rigorous. It was large and it was randomised. The study was carefully conducted in the manner of a drug intervention study to not only establish the superiority of one treatment over the other but also to carefully report any side effects or harm from those treatments. Since the treatments were therapies and not drugs stringent efforts were made to ensure the ‘purity’ of each treatment and to rapidly report any adverse effects. As a trial this involved a huge amount of checking and cross checking."
