here is a RCT that got A LOT of press six months ago. Roughly, the three arms were: (1) give the person a liter of olive oil per week; (2) give the person 30g of nuts per day; (3) nothing. Nuts and oil equally reduced heart attacks, but only olive oil reduced deaths.
If you look at the table of results, the nuts did have a slightly lower all-cause mortality result than the control group (which brings us back to the power issue).
