What fraction of loss on retatrutide is lean mass according to STEP 1?

What I am working with: retatrutide · STEP 1.

I would like help reading this properly rather than being told what conclusion to reach.

I have the full report including the method section, so I can quote specifics if that helps.

What would I need in addition before this supported a decision?
