#' Type 2 Diabetes Clinical Trial for Patients 10-17 Years Old
#'
#' Three treatments were compared to test their relative efficacy
#' (effectiveness) in treating Type 2 Diabetes in patients aged 10-17 who were
#' being treated with metformin. The primary outcome was lack of glycemic
#' control (or not); lacking glycemic control means the patient still needed
#' insulin, which is not the preferred outcome for a patient.
#'
#' Each of the 699 patients in the experiment were randomized to one of the
#' following treatments: (1) continued treatment with metformin
#' (coded as \code{met}), (2) formin combined with rosiglitazone (coded as
#' \code{rosi}), or or (3) a lifestyle-intervention program (coded as
#' \code{lifestyle}).
