              101 people participated in the trial. 54 were in the treatment group. 47 were in the placebo group.      As a part of the FDA, I probably wouldn't approve this medicine. Even thought 100% (101/101) people got better, 11% had side effects. You have specified that that 11% had side effects, but we do not know what the side effects are.
