陈老师您好,我最近写了一篇文章,研究的是内镜下切除胃间质瘤过程中肿瘤破碎是否是引起腹膜肿瘤转移的危险因素。方法是比较破碎组和非破碎组腹膜肿瘤转移率,但实际上两组转移率没有差别,都没有发生腹膜转移的病例,据此我得出结论就说肿瘤破碎并不是腹膜转移的危险因素。 下面是表格 Table 3. Characteristicsand follow-up outcomes of “A1” and “B2” | | | | | Age (y) Mean± SD Tumor size (cm) Median(Range) Follow-up Time (m) | 58.0±10.0 1.5 (0.3-4.0) | 55.3±11.2 3.0 (0.8-4.0) | 58.6±9.7 1.5 (0.3-3.5) | 0.263 <0.001 0.655 | Mean± SD | 17.9±10.3 | 19.0±9.9 | 17.6±10.4 | | | | | | |

下面是审稿人意见: 1. P-values and statistical significance areuncertainty measures, not effect measures. Statistical non-significanceindicates just uncertainty, which should not be interpreted as an argument forsimilarity. Please clarify the empirical support for the conclusion thatrupture may not be a risk factor. The ratio of the two metastasis rates with a95% confidence interval may provide such information. 2. The comparison of the two metastasis ratesshould include an adjustment for potential confounding bias. This is bestperformed using a statistical model.
我的问题,审稿人是什么意思啊,两组腹膜转移率一样,得不出结论吗,我该怎么回复审稿人
