cf \"La plupart des essais de médicaments nouveaux sont faits en comparaison avec un médicament de référence connu dont on connaît l’efficacité (comparateur). On parle de simple aveugle quand seul le patient ne sait pas dans quel groupe (bras) il se trouve durant l’essai (ce dernier y étant placé après tirage au sort : randomisation) et de double aveugle (double insu) quand ni le patient ni le médecin ne connaissent le bras thérapeutique.

x arms
alors là??,


Explanation:
Ce que je comprends: on oppose ici deux choses les arms et le control group? S'agirait-il de deux classes de personnes telles que les soldats et les officiers mais non cela serait alors armed forces...Ou alors ces effets secondaires apparaissent sur les bras? Bon courage!le mot harms ne vas pas non plus..
