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.
Então isso é o que eles iriam fazer no experimento. Eles pegariam 3.000 crianças, dariam a elas essas enormes cápsulas de óleo de peixe, seis delas por dia, e, então, um ano depois, iriam medir seu desempenho em um exame escolar e comparar esse desempenho no exame escolar com o que eles tinham previsto que teria sido o desempenho no exame se eles não tivessem tomado as cápsulas.
