| To those struggling with the terminology, this site helped me a bit. I wasn't familiar with Odds Ratios (OR). And I'm still confused, with a headache. https://www.students4bestevidence.net/a-beginners-guide-to-i... I would love to have someone explain this study in a simple way, with simple percentages. For example, what is the efficacy of, say Prozac, compared to placebo? "In terms of efficacy, all antidepressants were more effective than placebo, with ORs ranging between 2·13 (95% credible interval [CrI] 1·89–2·41) for amitriptyline and 1·37 (1·16–1·63) for reboxetine." This says all antidepressants work between what percentage? And in another post, someone mentioned the newer antidepressants were better that the older ones. What percentage better? (And yes--I need to brush up on my statistics. I've taken a few of these drugs. I used to know how to read a simple study, and stopped because the results were so depressing. I am throughly confused with this study, and the charts. Then again, I'm not feeling great.) |
