Aldo’s reading

The primary endpoint miss is the central result; a small post-hoc subgroup signal is hypothesis-generating rather than confirmatory.

Event significance is high because the primary endpoint miss is the central result; a small post-hoc subgroup signal is hypothesis-generating rather than confirmatory.

HypeHigh

Hype is high; the flagged wording goes beyond the disclosed evidence.
