positive study: This term can generate confusion because it refers both to statistical significance and the direction of effect. Since studies often have many outcome indicators, the criteria defining a “positive” study are not always clear and, in the case of studies on a risk or given adverse effects, for example, positive studies are those that show a harmful effect. 1, record 1, English, - positive%20study

étude à résultat positif; étude positive : Ces termes peuvent créer de la confusion, car ils font référence à la fois à la signification statistique et à la direction de l’effet. Les études ayant souvent de nombreux indicateurs de résultats, les critères définissant une étude «positive» ne sont pas toujours clairs et, dans le cas des études sur un risque ou sur des effets indésirables donnés, par exemple, les études positives sont celles qui montrent un effet nocif. 1, record 1, French, - %C3%A9tude%20%C3%A0%20r%C3%A9sultat%20positif
