PulmCrit- Power, the forgotten error, and inconclusive trials

The new HYPRESS trial tests whether steroid could prevent deterioration from sepsis into septic shock. The study found no significant benefit from steroid, but I thought it was underpowered. However, an accompanying editorial in JAMA didn’t even mention power. This raises some questions: How can we measure type-2 error? How should it be reported? What is an acceptable level of type-2 error?
