Not all placebo effects are beneficial. Indeed, doctors use the term “nocebo effect,” derived from the Latinnoceremeaning “harm,” when a placebo causes undesirable outcomes. RCTs can uncover these effects as well. For instance, a study published in JAMA found that the nocebo effect produces...

Continuous variables were summarized using descriptive statistics. The primary analysis involved all randomized participants, who were then analyzed as randomized (ie, intention-to-treat). Participants with missing food challenge values at 12 months were counted as nonresponders in this analysis. ...
Statistics which describe how large an effect is may be referred to as an ‘effect size estimate, which is a better index of efficacy compared to other statistics such as a difference in statistical mean values. The effect size can be assessed by using various statistics such as Cohen’s d...

See Supplementary Table 3 for detailed independent pairwise comparison statistics. To corroborate these findings, we performed a similar analysis at CPz, where the sustained LPP is typically maximal. We found similar patterns for the main effect of condition and condition by time interaction (see ...
