it's grammatically correct, albeit misleading

I didn't have an issue w/ the grammar, but the misleading description. :) It's a significant difference between a study starting and having a conclusion (or even partial data). In my mind, it's the difference between clickbait and non-clickbait headline, even though the article is very interesting.

misleading as in people think that the study starts when the trail ends, when in practice the study starts when the trail starts (because people aren't aware of this)
