Since 2020 I've been really suspicious of "X% less likely to" statements. Less likely than what? Is that the relative or absolute risk reduction? I majored in English, not statistics, and I'm not going to pretend that I can parse studies well enough to catch design errors or appreciate all the implications, but I know that when they don't report efficacy in ARR terms as well as RRR they're leaving out important context.
Good eye. These are retrospective studies, not double-blinded placebo controlled. They’re finding a correlation, not a causation. But the data seems fairly strong that metabolism impacts inflammatory proccesses.
