What does SURMOUNT-2 tell me about constipation at the 8 mg dose?

The particulars: SURMOUNT-2 · constipation · 8 mg.

I have the document in front of me and I can read the numbers. What I cannot do is interpret them.

I am reasonably comfortable with statistics and completely uncomfortable with chromatography, or vice versa.

What is the correct interpretation, and what is the common misreading?
