Context:
The vote also came despite an earlier ruling by the panel that Avandia appears to increase heart attack risk compared with other diabetes treatments. The panel voted 21-4 that Avandia is more likely to cause heart attack than its closest competitor Actos. Eight panelists said there was not enough information to make a decision.
@oristarA,
It's usually read as 21 to 4, Ori.
Other possibilities:
__ as opposed to __
__ versus __ (for the other side)
Probably more.
21 agreed to the premise that this medication increased heart attacks . . . .
4 did not agree
