It can be used in contexts related to data analysis, research, or systems where control groups or clusters are being discussed.
Example: "In our study, we compared the experimental groups to the control clusters to assess the effectiveness of the treatment."
Alternatives: "like control groups" or "similar to control sets".
It was expected that we needed twice as much control clusters to recruit a sufficient amount of client and caregiver couples in this group.
In Ghana (where antibiotics were available in control clusters as well) 51.4% (300 of 584) of all children were prescribed antibiotics in the intervention clusters compared with 64.3% (380 of 591) in the control clusters (OR 1.7, 1.34 2.17; P < 0.001), suggesting less overprescription of antibiotics in the intervention arm.

On the contrary, when anti-malarial treatment is administered to all febrile children, without prior parasitological confirmation, as in the control clusters of our study, an important proportion of cases are treated with ACTs unnecessarily.
If this were the case, the reductions in entomological indices observed between April 2005 and January 2006 in the intervention clusters would reflect real decreases just as real as the increases in the control clusters.
As expected, IgG-IP control clusters were uniformly proportioned in the presence or absence of a TFBS.

Tube-type control clusters placed outside the pressure boundary are used as the core shutdown system.
The Hawthorne effect occurs when the researchers' procedures and communications act as interventions in themselves that change behaviours, such as if the control cluster were to adopt the practices or policies promoted to the intervention cluster.
