Abstract

The publication of the three-paper series on the effects of two slot sizes on treatment parameters in this issue, targets a topic, which has attracted a lot of discussion based primarily on anecdotal evidence.

This commentary has the objective of highlighting some points, which could be taken into consideration in interpreting the results of this three-part trial.
