They're at P=0.93 right now. So they're very close.
Whereas, for women, P=0.0013.
Taking everything into consideration, that's exactly what I'd call "a high level of certainty that the effect for men doesn't equal the effect for women."

A big P value is bad. > that's exactly what I'd call "a high level of certainty that the effect for men doesn't equal the effect for women." Then you are operating off a non-standard cutoff for certainty because the paper explicitly states that the difference between the effect on male vs female is only statistically significant for the sub category of Alzheimer's.
