From my limited understanding, 2.56x next to none is still pretty close to next to none.

One could do a power calculation to determine its ability to detect different sizes of effect. Normally you'd do that when planning a study to determine the sample you need, but here they took every available patient in the medical records database they had access to, so they didn't really have a choice of sample size.
