WHAT IT FOUND

Statistical guidance for authors and reviewers, not a clinical study.

It reports no patient outcomes and gives no finding to change therapy.

What this paper is

This is a narrative statistical guidance review written for authors and reviewers at the Journal of Neurologic Physical Therapy. It discusses P-values, confidence intervals, study context, error costs, prior beliefs, and Bayesian statistics, and uses hypothetical examples. It reports no patients, no interventions, and no clinical outcomes, so there is no finding here to change practice.
