- Abstract
The article titled "How to read P-values and confidence intervals in public health studies" discusses the importance of understanding statistical testing in clinical research. The authors emphasize the need to interpret confidence intervals (CIs) as ranges of compatibility rather than relying solely on the significant vs. non-significant dichotomy. They explain that a P-value close to 1 indicates high compatibility with the target hypothesis, while a P-value close to 0 indicates low compatibility. The authors also highlight the importance of considering practical risks, costs, and benefits in addition to statistical analysis when making health consequential decisions.
