According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial involved 40 people in total, split into two groups of 20. One group had a CT scan of their sinuses *before* receiving medical advice ("Pre-tx"), and the other group had their CT scan *after* receiving medical advice ("Post-tx"). The trial was measuring two things: how many people in each group followed through with the medical recommendations they were given, and how many people in each group actually went ahead and had their CT sinus scan done. Of the 20 people in the post-treatment group, 6 did not complete the study, while all 20 in the pre-treatment group completed it. The reported data shows the following numbers. For following medical recommendations: all 20 participants in the pre-scan group complied, compared with 10 out of 20 in the post-scan group. For actually having the CT scan done: all 20 participants in the pre-scan group had their scan, compared with 9 out of 20 in the post-scan group. No other outcome figures were included in the submitted results data beyond these counts. These are the results as reported to ClinicalTrials.gov.
