I am doing my PhD and occasionally my supervisor and I come across papers that don't have any meaningful results/statistics but you gotta publish somehow. Like, they conclude with "We observed that the latency can be reduced by 2x-300x." I feel like the group that did this research spent a decade, and their supervisor was like, well, we gotta publish something. Choose an age interval that fits the whole data. 30-90.


Exactly what I thought put into words. There is not even a comparison to the obvious first question. Do women have the same effects or is it limited to men?


Agreed. They followed this cohort for decades and this was the conclusion? It reads like an update from the pitch drop experiment.
