Abstract
- The reported I P i -value indicated a positive effect of ASS for MI risk reduction beyond any measure of reasonable doubt. Gail Sullivan and Richard Feinn have authored a highly impactful editorial about the correct interpretation of I P i -values and effect sizes which can be recommended as a short handbook for scientific reporting.7 Equally important to reporting effect sizes is to interpret them correctly and comprehensibly. What is to be learned from the ASS example is that there are more layers to statistical interpretation than just the calculation of I P i -values and that the sizes of discovered effects often add more to our medical understanding than I P i -values. The researchers reported a I P i -value, indicating an effect, which in this case was the reduction of MI events in patients under ASS treatment. [Extracted from the article]
