This is one explanation of "number to treat":

and another explanation:

You can find many articles on NNT (needed to treat) on line.
Try to find the more recent ones...as the old ones accept potentially flawed/fraudulent studies.

There is a petition out there now to have Big Pharma make public all their studies ..ALL ... showing the negative ones.
It should be very revealing. As in what happened to Paxil and its negative studies showing no effects in teens and children.
