This journal isn’t open access is it?

I wanted so see the effect sizes not just p values which are unhelpful. But if the vegans are all vitamin b12 deficient, it’s not a surprise their health has consequences.

And my other question is, is there self selection going on. People who go to hospitals have worse outcomes than people who don’t, so the best thing to do is to avoid hospitals. P < 0.001. Right? No, wrong. Did they become vegans due to digestive problems or other health issue?

I’d really like to read the article to see if they considered these things.
