I'm thinking yes, but at the same time i think it is a trick-question

It appears that the medication helped reduce the swelling, but I'm not sure she can conclude anything.

I was thinking that but since they don't tell us what happened to the control group I'm not really sure

dukelaxfan · Answer

I guess she can't conclude anything since we don't know what happened to the control group?
