- Abstract
The article reports on controversy created by magnitude-based inference (MBI) when reporting the results of studies. Statistician Kristin Sainani was concerned about the consequences of using MBI that she wrote a formal analysis of the MBI method. Declaring that many interventions work when they do not is said to be unacceptable to editors and practitioners. Medicine and Science in Sport and Exercise decided not to accept for publication papers that use MBI.
