So this is what they were going to do in their trial: They were taking 3,000 children, they were going to give them these huge fish oil pills, six of them a day, and then, a year later, measure their school exam performance and compare their performance against what they predicted their exam performance would have been if they hadn't had the pills.
C'était ce qui était prévu sur ce test. On a pris 3 000 enfants, on allait leur donner ces grosses pilules d'huile de poisson, six par jour, et puis un an après, on allait récupérer leurs notes aux examens et les comparer à celles qu'elles auraient dû être s'ils n'avaient pas pris les pilules.
