Researchers should prioritize effect size estimation over statistical significance tests for a clearer understanding of treatment impact. Focusing on clinical significance provides more meaningful insights than solely relying on null hypothesis viability.

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Clinical Research Methodology

Background:

  • Statistical significance tests assess null hypothesis viability but not treatment magnitude.
  • Current research trends often rely heavily on significance testing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To differentiate between statistical significance and effect size estimation.
  • To guide researchers in study planning and data analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of methodological issues and research trends.
  • Selection of references representing current approaches.
  • Discussion of logical fallacies in research design.

Main Results:

  • Significance tests are limited to evaluating the null hypothesis.

  • Effect size estimation offers a measure of clinical significance.

    • Conclusions:

    • Researchers should shift focus from significance tests to effect size estimation with confidence intervals.
    • This approach enhances the understanding of clinical significance and improves study planning for adequate power and precise effect estimation.
