it's grammatically correct, albeit misleading

I didn't have an issue w/ the grammar, but the misleading description. :) It's a significant difference between a study starting and having a conclusion (or even partial data). In my mind, it's the difference between clickbait and non-clickbait headline, even though the article is very interesting.

This is at the University PR section of http://phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=1174

misleading as in people think that the study starts when the trail ends, when in practice the study starts when the trail starts (because people aren't aware of this)
