Which Test?

Write it up

One set of study details, two outputs: the paragraph for your paper and the script that matches it, in R or SPSS.

What do these boxes mean?

Your data is probably a spreadsheet: one row per patient, one column per fact about that patient. The generator never sees your data. You tell it what your columns are called, and it writes what fits.

Example. Three patients got a drug or a placebo. For each patient the file holds their age, whether they have diabetes (1 = yes, 0 = no), and whether they had a complication afterwards (1 = yes, 0 = no).

The example as a spreadsheet
treatmentagediabetescomplication
drug6410
placebo7101
drug5800

With this file, you would fill in the boxes like this:

Primary outcome
What you measure in every patient. Write: postoperative complication
Groups compared
What you compare the outcome between: here, which treatment the patient got. Write: the drug group and the placebo group
Covariates (optional)
Other things that could influence the outcome and that you want to allow for. Skip this if you have none. age, diabetes
Label
How something should read in your paper, in plain words. The paragraph uses these, so write them as you would in a sentence.
Chooses the reporting checklist: CONSORT for trials, STROBE for observational studies, STARD for diagnostic accuracy.
Filled in by the chooser. Change it if you need another method.
How the outcome should read in your paper, for example "systolic blood pressure at 12 weeks".
Who or what is compared, for example "the drug group and the placebo group".
Covariates (optional)Other variables you adjust for, such as age or sex. Each has a column name and a label.
The p-value threshold. 0.05 unless your protocol says otherwise.
Leave empty to get [VERSION] to fill in later
The paragraph and the checklist are written in this language.
