There's absolutely no data that could lead to this conclusion - the difference in time spent in the toilet could be anything, even negative values.

You have to see the numbers behind that 5%.

I too tired to go into what entails a promising good result in medicine, but it's usually just slightly better than placebo on a good day in a small study at the right lab even with approved drugs. (Too tired to use commas.)
