Question

1) When you find an original research study that helps you to answer a specific clinical question, what characteristics of the results will you consider to determine their magnitude and significance? Include examples. (For this question, focus on how to determine the size and significance of an effect reported in the study.) (Magnitude of effect, statistical significance, and clinical significance)
2) Fill in the blank
3) A recent study compared women on estrogen supplements to women on wild yam. Results revealed a relative risk (RR) of venous thromboembolic events is 2.89 for the women on estrogen. This suggests that estrogen treatment poses a coronary risk, but we wonder if this difference is statistically significant, so we look at the confidence interval. Give an example of a confidence interval that would support the conclusion that the rate of venous thromboembolic events was indeed (statistically) different for these two treatment groups. Explain answer.
XXXXXXXXXXRR = 2.89, 95%CI( ? , ? )
XXXXXXXXXXLower 95%CI
XXXXXXXXXXHigher 95%CI

Ans: 
	If we are going to do any statistical test on the research study, then we need to be a accurate data because data leads to the decisions so first data should be perfect. Then we can choose the statistical test based on our requirements and the data should also satisfy the assumptions that the statistical test follows. The sample size needs to be considered. 
Example: if we are testing the significance of a drug then we need the data of two same sample sizes data that is one related to no drug people and another group is about already taken the drug.
