That sentence from the end of the abstract makes no sense. Does "this result" refer to protective effect of vasectomy, or reduced prostatic function? And if the result is not statistically significant, why mention it at all except in reference of failing to disprove the null-hypothesis?
ReplyDeleteI believe the vasectomy. The phrase "thus far" implies that they think more data might move it into statistical significance.
ReplyDeleteStatistical insignificance means irrelevant. This is not an added benefit of vasectomy based on the cited research.
