Summary of Changes

Based on the actual NEJM article by Troxel et al. (2025), significantly revised the estimands section to accurately reflect the article's content:

Key updates:

  • Added proper definition of intercurrent events with examples
  • Emphasized ITT (treatment policy strategy) as the primary analysis that should remain in abstracts
  • Explained problems with hypothetical strategies (trial-product estimands) that can inflate treatment effects
  • Added composite variable strategy explanation
  • Included reporting recommendations for transparency in clinical trials
  • Updated BibTeX entry with all six authors, correct year (2025), volume, and pages
  • Formatted text with line breaks after each phrase for better readability

split lines of text in qmd files after each phrase

Split long lines in the estimands section to have one phrase per line,
following the repository's formatting guidelines for better readability
and clearer diffs.

Reformatted the text in the estimands section to have line breaks after each phrase (commit b3e4039). Each logical unit of text is now on its own line for better readability and clearer diffs.
