Translate a Study's Effect Size Into What It Actually Means

A paper reports an effect size, a confidence interval, or a p-value, and none of it tells you on its own whether the result is actually meaningful. This translates the statistic into plain terms: how big the effect really is, what the uncertainty implies, and what would need to be true for it to matter beyond the sample.

Translate the following statistical result into what it actually means in practice, without softening it into a vague analogy: {RESULT}. State plainly how large the effect is relative to typical effects in the field, what the confidence interval or p-value implies about certainty, and what would have to be true for the result to matter outside the study's own sample.
