> I could show you a statistic derived from meta-analysis of active antidepressant treatment vs. placebo that shows that active treatment is more effective, with a p value of greater than 10 to the minus 30. But, so what? The real issue, and the only one to consider by individuals, is "Will it work for me?" There's only one way to find out. To take some. And cross your fingers.
That should read "p value *less than* 10 to the minus 30"
