Could someone help me understand how to interpret this line:
> Higher mushroom consumption was associated with lower risk of total cancer (pooled RR for the highest compared with the lowest consumption groups: 0.66; 95% CI: 0.55, 0.78; n = 17)
Specifically the “0.66; 95% CI: 0.55, 0.78; n = 17” line?
ChatGPT told me:
> The “pooled RR” of 0.66 indicates that the risk of cancer was 34% lower in the group with the highest mushroom consumption compared to the group with the lowest consumption. The “95% CI” represents the confidence interval, indicating the range within which the true risk reduction is likely to fall. In this case, it’s between 0.55 and 0.78. “n = 17” likely refers to the number of studies or datasets included in the analysis.
Is that accurate? The top line conclusion of this study was that eating more mushrooms was associated with a 34% reduction of risk of all cancers?
