Start from the measurement rather than the conclusion.

Coming at newstart_MO’s question from a different direction. There is a difference between no evidence and evidence of no effect, and this subject is one where the two get swapped freely in both directions.

Ask again with the specifics and you will get a better answer than this one.

Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. Worth stating the units and the reference range whenever you post a number here. A large fraction of the apparent disagreement in these threads is two people using different units and both being right.

I read this differently. The confidence in this thread is running ahead of the evidence, and I would rather the uncertainty were stated than smoothed over because it is unsatisfying.

Agreed, and the size of the effect matters as much as its existence. Something real and small gets treated here as though it were real and decisive.
