Proofs of Nulls: P > 0.05

As a medical educator, I have an interest in improving how we teach interpretation of study results to medical students, residents, and fellow physicians.

To that extent, I have found widespread issues in many of our popular EBM textbooks when looking at results with p>0.05. I have discussed this on another post here: Errors in teaching appraisal of null results

Certainly, if an EBM textbook written by medical experts is making mistakes like this, it’s no wonder lay physicians like myself have similar issues.
