doi.org/10.1016/j.anne… Don't dichotomize compatibility. It is wrong to say that hypotheses outside the 95%CI are incompatible with the data, while those within it are compatible. Support requires prior knowledge+bias active control. Mohammad-Ali Mansournia



We published a method to analyze several hypotheses of clinical interest rather than the sole null hypothesis of an exactly zero effect (Journal of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, doi: 10.3961/jpmph.24.250). Accepted version: researchgate.net/publication/38… Mohammad-Ali Mansournia



doi.org/10.3961/jpmph.… No rule—such as p<0.05, z-score>4, or Cohen's d>0.8—can decide for us whether an effect is important or not. Our NORD-h protocol is designed to perform statistical analyses tailored to the scientific and clinical context. Mohammad-Ali Mansournia




Yes! We can use traditional "confidence" intervals as compatibility intervals! According to the chosen test, we can assess the compatibility (consistency) of the data with several effect hypotheses rather than the sole null hypothesis of zero effect. We thank The Lancet Reg Health-Southeast Asia!





No critical reasoning process can be reduced to p≤0.05 vs. p>0.05. Meaningful interpretation of medical results inevitably requires critical discussion. Efforts should be directed toward guiding such discussions, not eliminating them. shorturl.at/0Ntch Mohammad-Ali Mansournia
