Evaluation of Lowering the P Value Threshold for Statistical Significance From .05 to .005 in Previously Published Randomized Clinical Trials in Major Medical Journals
Information type: Other primary research
Source: Journal of the American Medical Association
Specialities:
Summary
Review found that, of statistically significant primary end points in 203 RCTs in 3 major general medical journals 70.7% would maintain their statistical significance with a P value threshold of <0.005.
UKMi comment
Authors report that amending the threshold may address the shortcomings of P values, e.g spurious false-positives results and P-hacking
