Those confidence intervals though..
lower sperm concentration (−8%, 95% CI: −16%, −1%)
total sperm count (−10%, 95% CI: −17%, −2%)
higher proportion of nonprogressive and immotile sperm (5%; 95% CI: 1%, 8%)
Basically all the 95% confidence intervals almost overlap with "no effect".
- londons_explore 3y agoThree 95% confidence intervals not quite overlapping with no effect is plenty evidence to believe this is true unless someone does a bigger study showing otherwise...
- kriops 3y agoCorrect, but if and only if every involved party is completely trustworthy. Which would be naive, and is why independent replication is important.
- refurb 3y agoFor a retrospective analysis? No. And for a study showing an effect of 1% change (maybe) That’s no different than zero. No, it’s not anything close to “believe this is true”.
