Discussion

sebaspedlp (asker) Feb 3, 2016:
Liz and Robert Thank you both! Your explanations and your help in the answers are of much help to me. Now I understand a bit more!!
Robert Carter Feb 2, 2016:
Hi Liz. Look at it this way: what would be the difference between "controlado con" and controlado contra"?
The key word here is "control". A placebo-controlled study is one where you have a "control group" that is given a placebo instead of the trial drug. The behaviour of this group then provides a standard or baseline (called the control or control-variable) against (or with) which the effectiveness or otherwise of the trial drug can be compared.

An example of a scientific control (sometimes called an "experimental control") might be testing plant fertilizer by giving it to only half the plants in a garden: the plants that receive no fertilizer are the control group, because they establish the baseline level of growth that the fertilizer-treated plants will be compared against. Without a control group, the experiment cannot determine whether the fertilizer-treated plants grow more than they would have if untreated.

Are people inferring this is a typo?
How would we know if it were?
liz askew Feb 2, 2016:
FWIW, I don't see the logic of the answer supported:)

against placebo

Well, the reason I am contributing on this one is that this does not seem 100% clear to me, particularly as I found references to trials "con placebo" and "contra placebo". On the face of it, this doesn't mean the same thing to me.

control against placebo

cuando haces un estudio a doble ciego una parte de los pacientes estan controlados con el medicamento que estas provando y la otra mitad tienen un placebo, así se estudian los resultados en ambos grupos y se reportan los resultados del grupo control contra el grupo placebo
