01 · The sentence it was drawn from

“The plasma concentration in the lutein group was significantly higher than in controls at 1 and 4 months (P < 0.0001 for both comparisons); however, the MPOD values did not differ significantly between groups at 1 (P = 0.479) or 4 months (P = 0.883).”
Quoted verbatim from Effects of a lutein supplement on the plasma lutein concentration and macular pigment in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy.
