P population who is in the study. I intervention what is the study. C comparison what is the control. O outcome how do we know if it worked. T timeframe when will we know. The intervention is no different than x. Is the intervention no better or worse than the control (eg. usual care) Worse or intervention results or better *p-value. Note: most quantitative research is equality: equivalence. The intervention is the same as x. Is the intervention interchangeable with control/usual care: superiority. Is the intervention better, intervention results: non-inferiority. The intervention is no worse than x.
