The outcome is not very strong is it? I looked at the table where they show the depression and anxiety scores. I mean sure I guess 52 -> 47 matters statistically - but does it for an individual? I doubt it. Also I‘d be highly dubious of the opening statement that almost everybody is „borderline deficient in vitamin B6“…
mhm and also quite funnily: „ […] were randomised to receive either Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, or placebo tablets. However, due to technical problems that resulted in some missing data and also because no single outcome measure was included in all phases of data collection the number of participants completing each outcome measure was in all cases less than the full sample size.“
- JamesBarney 4y agoThat's about the same effect size as the better therapy studies. And it's a lot cheaper than meeting with a counselor once a month.
- whiterock 4y agoInteresting - that‘s quite shattering to hear actually, I don‘t think I will bother with therapy then. Any references?
