The reported number can be shown, but its exact outcome or compared groups are unresolved. Its direction cannot be interpreted here.

The confidence interval describes statistical uncertainty under the model, not every possible source of error.

This picture is incomplete
  • The outcome name has not been resolved from the source.
  • The outcome and group labels are not all tied to this result quotation.
  • This quotation reports multiple effects; the semantic roles need review.

Comparison details unresolved.

The exact outcome or compared groups are not yet fully established. The source needs interpretation before this number can support a conclusion.

Statin therapy reduced all-cause mortality, Relative Risk (RR) 0.90 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.86-0.94, P ≤ 0.0001, I(2)=17%]; cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality (RR 0.80, 95% CI 0.74-0.87, P<0.0001, I(2)=27%); fatal myocardial infarction (MI) (RR 0.82, 95% CI 0.75-0.91, P<0.0001, I(2)=21%)
