so instead of including this concluding quote to fully (and effectively) represent the study being criticized, the point which goes against the position of the article is left out and the criticized study is immediately contrasted with a mined point from another study, which was carefully picked to fully re-affirm the position of the article.

tl;dr: they put two entirely contradictory pieces of literature next to each other and deliberately misrepresented one to re-affirm the other one.

rates higher than a control can still be lower than pre treatment.

not even a little bit contradictory.
