Conversely, many large clinical trials obtain a high level of statistical significance with miniscule differences between groups, which are completely clinically irrelevant. However, with proper marketing, billions can be made from results of dubious clinical importance. In this article, the differences ...

Statistical significance has become a major criterion to measure the importance of the results of the clinical trials. However, frequent misinterpretations of the meaning of statistical significance have led to rejection of clinically important data and to acceptance of clinically meaningless data. The ...
Thresholds for returning ‘high risk’ PRS were identified by each phenotype working group based in part upon the statistical significance between the ‘high-risk’ and ‘not high-risk’ groups. Future studies might consider standardizing the analyses and methods used to define these thresholds. ...
Interdisciplinary treatment for fibromyalgia syndrome: Clinical and statistical significance Objectives. The primary purposes of the study were to: evaluate the treatment efficacy of an outpatient, interdisciplinary treatment program for fibromyalg...
Even though the overall use of DTP9 ('Routine enquiry') did not reach statistical significance when the four quarters of the visit were jointly examined, dentists were eliciting information on routine information (DTP9) in the final quarter. Students, meanwhile, had the bulk of the clinical ...
Significance determined via paired samples t test. Full size image Surprisingly, manual review did not uniformly result in the expected increase in Cohen’s Kappa agreement, perhaps reflecting uncertainty even between human scorers. Therefore, we restricted review to epochs that were (1) uncertain ...
Obviously, selection of candidates should not be based only on statistical significance, but also on the ability to fulfill a specific clinical need [43,100]. However, poor statistical design at the early experimental stage results in lack of statistical power to select relevant candidates, due to...
Each statistical test was performed with a significance level of α = 5%. Data were analyzed using the software SPSS Statistics (version 26, IBM) and R 4.0.2 with “KMWin” plugin for Kaplan–Meier plots48. Ethics approval Our investigation with use of histopathological specimen and ...
Finally, genetic etiology has not been incorporated into most psychiatric diagnostic systems, e.g., the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Classification of most psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, still relies solely on clinical signs and symptoms. Of note, the...
