Being in a trial changes behaviour. Participants are weighed regularly, counselled on diet and activity, and know they are being observed. All of that produces an effect that has nothing to do with the compound, and the placebo arm measures it.
Without it, a trial cannot say how much of the change in the active arms was the molecule.
Neither participants nor investigators knew who received placebo. That prevents expectation from influencing either behaviour or assessment, which matters most for outcomes with a subjective component and for adverse-event reporting.
Both phase 2 trials were double-blind, and the Lancet trial additionally blinded the active comparator.
The placebo group's 2.1 per cent reduction at 48 weeks is the background against which the active groups' reductions are measured. A reported 24.2 per cent in the highest group therefore represents a placebo-adjusted difference somewhat smaller than the headline, and the paper reports both.
Secondary summaries routinely quote the headline alone. The primary paper does not.
