Reply to comment by supertexter in Analysis showed that 65.6% of women who took extra Vitamin D gave birth naturally. The study analysed results from the MAVIDOS trial which involved 965 women being randomly allocated an extra 1,000 International Units (IU) per day of vitamin D during their pregnancy or a placebo. by Wagamaga
It’s significant (and the 95% CI indicates it is reasonably so), but this is a post hoc analysis of an outcome they already ‘knew’, in a trial that already had many outcomes, making this result at pretty high risk of being a chance false positive. This is probably why they don’t give actual p values - the findings are hypothesis generating, not confirmatory.

That sounds reasonable indeed. Interesting result though, the future will tell us more.
