(I didn't read the article) Is it the drug or is it the pain the drug is taken to alleviate? If I've got a headache or muscle soreness I'm more likely to focus on that than someones fee-fees.
It's a controlled experiment, not a population study, so the acetaminophen sample weren't in more pain than the control group. But it's a relatively high dose, and while statistically significant the effect seems kind of small. I'm not sure there's really particularly big conclusions you can draw from it.
