An investigator conducts a study comparing lowopril (a new ACE-inhibitor) to lisinopril in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. The NI margin is set at 6 mmHg. Lowopril lowered blood pressure by 6.1 mmHg and lisinopril lowered by 7.8 mmHg. The difference in blood pressure lowering was 1.7 mmHg (95%CI -0.1 to 3.5). Describe the appropriate interpretation of the results in the context of the NI margin.
