Physical function and psychosocial outcomes after a 6-month self-paced aquatic exercise program for individuals with [ME/CFS], 2025, Broadbent+

It's so misleading to use terms like this knowing that they mean something very different in a press release. They mean statistically significant, and even where sometimes it's clinically significant, it's always the barest blip above it, or often even right on it. Nothing in "Imagine a world"-based medicine rates above the smallest most trivial outcome.

But in a press release saying that something is improved significantly is interpreted as meaning "a lot". Most people would probably rate this as meaning a huge difference.

So is this:

None are adequately controlled. None are robust. But they use robust to signify that this is indisputably beneficial.

Very dishonest. About as deceitful as "Now with 35% more", when the company decides the base quantity, and could just as well make it 5% and call it 20x in bonus. Means absolutely nothing.
