am I reading this wrong?

Maybe I missed something here, or they forgot to mention it due to language issues - but there doesn't even seem to be a control group. How can they draw any conclusions without a control group?

I have ordered a book, "Know Your Chances", which is supposed to be an understandable discussion and explanation of how to make sense of health-related statistics. I think everyone who pays any attention to research should have this basic understanding. If we rely on media headlines, or even many abstracts, we will be mis-informed.
