Ignoring the typo above, it's mentioned in the text: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randomized_controlled_trial

Mentioned, yes, but not correctly. They should have put a "(RCT)" immediately after the first instance of "randomized control trial" at the very least. However, I'm of the opinion that the acronym should have been expanded it the first paragraph, or even first sentence, since it's used in the subheader. Either way, this was definitely a failure on the author's part.
