In addition to some of the other great comments here, it's helpful to adjust your prior beliefs about new treatments we are testing. Even with promising pre-trial data, many will not work in humans, most that do have only slight benefits, and only rarely do we see large benefits. And almost all have some potential side effects. So whatever the control is (placebo or standard of care), it's often not the "worse" arm.
