A news article by Reuters reported: In a new study, Dr Matti Uhari and colleagues at the University of Oulu in Finland, randomly gave 857 healthy children in daycare centers xylitol in syrup, gum or lozenge form, or a placebo gum, syrup or lozenge in five doses per day for 3 months. According to a report in the October issue of the Journal of Pediatrics, the incidence of ear infections were reduced by 40% in children given xylitol chewing gum, 30% in those given syrup and 20% in those given lozenges when compared to children give a placebo.

If it is an experiment, diagram the randomized comparative experiment.
