Here are the ways you can use a tabbed interface, pasted in from the docs:
• Install it directly in your application’s main window.
• Install it as one of the two root views in a split view interface.
(iPad only)
• Present it modally to display some data that requires its own
mode-based organization.
• Display it from a popover. (iPad only)
The global results and statistics tab bar is the *first* way. The results and
statistics for the particular experiment is the *third* way; "some data that
requires its own mode-based organization" describes perfectly what it is.
You can thus structure your entire interface straight from nibs with almost no
code at all doing everything by the book. The code would come in as you're
about to show the modal interface; you'd populate it with the data and
appropriate tabs for the particular experiment the user is about to see.
