Hi @Folakunmi21. I think this is a great first curation!

While you curated the three experiments correctly, the labels for the group 1 and group 0 for each experiment make it extremely difficult to determine which experiment is which. Please remember that our goal here is not just to extract the information as written but to create something the someone looking at the curation can understand without having to look at the original paper.

Please revise the group 1 and group 0 names accordingly, thinking specifically about what each group 1 and group 0 was specifically for each experiment. Thank you!
