First of all, thank you for your research! I have learned a lot from your articles. Now I have encountered a problem and would like to seek your help. I have successfully run and understood the function medRCT_4med, but I am still confused about the latest medRCT. I used the same dataset dat4med.csv, and specified the first parameter as 2, which ran successfully. However, I am puzzled when comparing the results with the original code's output. How should I understand the latest results and their correspondence with the previous results? I would be very grateful if you could provide an explanation.

I can understand these results image

However, I find the following new results difficult to interpret and do not understand their correspondence with the previous results.
