At the bottom of the readme, the as_gt() output footnote 3 says:
3... The smaller value subtracts the probability of crossing a futility bound before crossing an efficacy bound at a later analysis (0.025 - 6e-04 = 0.0244) under the null hypothesis.
We should format 0.025 - 6e-04 = 0.0244 as 0.025 - 0.0006 = 0.0244 and enforce decimal notation for all numbers in the footnotes.
This is because scientific notation might create potential confusion and misinterpretation sometimes. Using decimal notation will ensure clarity and consistency, making it easier for a wider audience including regulators and non-technical stakeholders to understand the information being presented.
