question
Does early egg introduction causally prevent egg allergy, or is the reduced incidence non-causal?
statement
Early controlled egg introduction is safe/tolerated but does not causally prevent egg allergy in high-risk infants: the lower allergy incidence in trials is not a true tolerogenic causal effect (e.g. it reflects trial selection, differential dropout of reacting infants, or would not generalize beyond the eczema-controlled protocol).

Constructed complement: the logically-required null pole no curated paper states, making the allergy-prevention question a two-answer space. It is the member favoured if the PETIT effect were an artefact of selection or differential dropout rather than induced oral tolerance.
