minus-squareAbracadaniel [he/him]hexbear16·3 months ago26.7% really doesn't strike me as significant. Certainly not enough to be convincing of such an amazing claim on its own. It does mean the study is worth scrutinizing to rule out any issues. https://www.graphpad.com/guides/prism/latest/statistics/common_misinterpretation_of_a_p_value.htm I just ran a script to generate 6000 random numbers between 0 and 1, then count what proportion were below 0.25. One result was as low as 23.9% link
minus-squareVampire [any]hexagonhexbear3·edit-23 months agoI agree p=0.041 is not very conclusive. I'll also note that saying the evidence should be approached as an "amazing claim" is explicitly saying you bring a biased approach to the evidence. No one study is conclusive really, that's why we need meta-analyses link
