* For adult men 8-10 km away, the radio station reduced cancer cases by 75%! Hooray!
* It had slight benefits for the same group at 4-8 km
* It caused a couple of extra cases at 0-4 km
But then you realize we're talking about drawing conclusions from an n=40 study... That's just not enough to draw meaningful conclusions. And for children, it was n=8 !!!!!
